List of conductors
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of conductors of music in the broad genre of classical music, including symphonies, operas, chamber music, and choral music, including music by modern composers considered within this genre. Many musicians primarily known as instrumental soloists or composers may be conductors, and vice versa. Inclusion on this list does not necessariy suggest conducting was their primary occupation or talent. The list is not intended to cover conductors of other genres, such as pop-song arrangements, jazz, or movie soundtracks, unless they also conducted classical music. As a list in progress, many omissions may be expected.
