Arnold Schoenberg - the 1900's
from Arnold Schoenberg Letters, page 46:
In fact, Zemlinsky is certainly the best conductor alive. I once heard a wonderful ‘Parsifal’ from his baton and watched him rehearsing Tchaikovsky and ‘Tod und Verklärung’. It’s incredible what he can wring out of such by no means first-class stuff. It’s very sad that one can’t hear that sort of thing in the artistic capital!
