    I was a season ticket holder for the SF symphony during the Ozawa era. He was an innovator. He loved to play the modern composers works even tho the critics played hard into him. There was nothing greater than the members of the orchestra would tap their bows and stomp their feet after a performance to tell the critics to shout their mouths. I remember when he played the toy piano for a Nicolas Cage piece

    I remember hearing him conduct the Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique in 1969 at Western University with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, a marvelous performance. This work seemed to be a central feature in his personal repertoire, and the recording which he made at that time remains an emotional rendering of the masterpiece. He was an unforgettable interpreter of great music.

    RIP Seiji Ozawa. When people hear his name, they think of Boston. But when I hear his name, I think of San Francisco. In 1970, the Lowell High School Orchestra, in San Frncisco held a fund-raising concert in the San Francisco Opera House. Besides Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite, Copland’s Outdoor Overture, Gershwin’s An American in Paris, all conducted by our teacher, John Pereira, Mr. Ozawa took time out of his busy international schedule to rehearse us and then lead us in concert in Debussey’s Afternoon of a Faun and Bernstein’s Candide Overture. So not only did he help us realise our dream of traveling to Japan to represent San Francisco at the Expo ′70 in Osaka, but he also inspired us all in our future lives - many of us, including myself, went on to be professional musicians ourselves and having played under his baton and leadership was … inspiring. Thank you Mr. Ozawa!
