From the archives: Conductor Seiji Ozawa

[@pelarinbacosiii448]

Seiji Ozawa and Zubin Mehta led the way for so many Asian conductors and musicians in the world of Western Classical music. I will sorely miss him.

Ode to Joy sung by people from five continents made me cry.

A wonderful man and conductor. I'll never forget the impact his Boston SO Mahler 1 on Deutscher Grammophon made on me when I first heard it. His recording of Schoenberg's Gurrelieder is still one of the best in the catalogue. Rest in peace, Maestro!

He was a marvelous conductor. Disappointed there was no mention of his early years at the San Francisco symphony. Fortunate to have seen him conduct

[@pookerville]

Seiji Ozawa set the standard by which all other conductors are judged. God bless him forever!

I have been a fan since 1968 when he conducted Mussorgsky’s “ paintings at an exhibition “

[@BrianFuller_0]

I met him in a Japanese restaurant in Vienna near the opera house during the period when he conducted the Vienna Opera.

I'm sure the people of Boston miss him as much as the people of Japan.

Thank you, Maestro ❤

Hallelujah ❤❤❤

[@chewi991]

the comment about his connection to “ East and West” was so demeaning to such a talented man I understand why Ozawa just laughed it off. RIP Maestro
