My Take
Claudio Scimone earns my deep respect not just as a conductor but as a kind of cultural archaeologist. Trained under Mitropoulos and Franco Ferrara, he could have coasted on pedigree, yet what moves me is his devotion to reviving forgotten baroque and renaissance works. Resurrecting neglected music is quiet, unglamorous labor that requires real love for the art, and his Knight Grand Cross and honorary doctorate from Padua suggest the world noticed. He passed in 2018, but the scores he brought back to life keep sounding. I admire artists who bridge past and present, and Scimone did it beautifully.
