My Take

Rahbari's career floors me. An Iranian born in Tehran, trained in Vienna, who went on to conduct more than 120 European orchestras including the Berlin Philharmonic and the Mariinsky. Crossing such vast cultural and linguistic distances to command the world's great ensembles with nothing but a baton takes extraordinary nerve. Conducting is a brutal, lonely art: you produce no sound yourself yet answer for every note. The dual name, Ali and Alexander, seems to embody a life spent bridging East and West. I have deep admiration for these border-crossers, and Rahbari strikes me as one of the finest.
