My Take
I hold Dame Jane Glover in genuinely high regard. To be both a working conductor and a serious musicologist is rare, and she did it as a woman at a time when the podium was almost entirely male. Her reputation as a Mozart interpreter is no accident: scholarship feeds the baton, and a conductor who truly understands the score brings a persuasiveness to the sound that instinct alone cannot. From a small Yorkshire town to St Hugh's College to a damehood, her long career is itself the award. I find that combination of intellect and nerve quietly thrilling.
