Wolfgang Sawallisch

Conductor and pianist -- via artsjournal.com. This self-effacing artist did not have marquee-level status, but his work with the Bavarian State Opera, Philadelphia Orchestra, Vienna Symphony, and as accompanist to artists such as Prey, Hampson, and Schwarzkopf was stunning. A master of Richard Strauss, especially the operas, and of Shostakovich, Brahms, Beethoven, Schumann, and much more of the Romantic oeuvre.
