Conductors Capricorns

Post by Sylph » Tue Jun 30, 2009 9:32 am

I'd need your help to make a list. I have Walter Hendl, Jean Martinon, Iván Fischer & Simon Rattle perhaps, Fritz Reiner was damn close (December 19th, or perhaps he was, I don't know when Sun entered Capricorn in 1888 :mrgreen: :lol: )...

Conductors born between December 21 & January 20... :mrgreen:

Leopold Ludwig was born 12 January 1908. I saw him conducting several times. My first versions of Dvorak's 9th and Mahler's 9th were LPs conducted by Ludwig with the London Symphony.

Pierre Dervaux was born the 3 January 1917. He left some good recordings of Vincent d'Indy (in special a masterpiece, Ishtar).

Actually, I've long considered the CHINESE system far more accurate than the better-known Greek system. The Chinese system goes by a cycle of a dozen years, rather than months.

The next year coming up's going to be the Year Of The Tiger. Lots of innovative classical music figures were born in this year.....I'm currently preparing a list to post in January (as I do every year)--watch for it.

If you want accurate astrology, then go Indian. Indians use the sidereal zodiac, not the tropical one used in Western practices. :mrgreen:
