Fabio Luisi is a great opera conductor

Many years ago, when the Met was deciding who the next principal conductor/music director was going to be, it seemed to be a tie between YN-S and Fabio Luisi.

I was a little more in favor of YN-S, but now I am not so sure. Regardless, when Mr. Luisi conducted William Tell at the Met, I was ready to go home after the overture as I had already experienced perfection. Obviously I stayed as it was a great night for music making. No link is available for the run.
