| Conductor, born in Hollywood, California, USA. A precocious talent, he was thrust into fame at 25 when as an assistant he took over a concert of the Boston Symphony from ailing William Steinberg. He went on to guest-conduct widely, and led the Buffalo Philharmonic (1971–9) and the London Symphony Orchestra (1988–95), becoming music director of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra in 1995. |
