My Take

What strikes me about François-Xavier Roth is how he sits at the crossroads of period-instrument rigor and modern orchestral life. Born in 1971 near Paris, he's the kind of conductor who treats the score as a living thing rather than a museum piece, and the Legion of Honour nod in 2018 confirms how seriously France takes him. I find his profile refreshingly unflashy here: no agency, no body stats, just the work and a website at fxroth.com. To me that reticence fits a musician who lets the orchestra, not the publicity machine, do the talking. I'd love to see him live.
