My Take

Marek Janowski commands my respect as one of those conductors who let the music speak rather than the personality. Born in Warsaw in 1939 and later German by career, he built a reputation for clear-eyed, structurally rigorous readings, especially of the German Romantic repertoire and Wagner. The Cross of the Order of Merit he holds reflects how seriously Germany takes his contribution. I find his kind of conducting unfashionable in an era of showmen, and that's exactly why I value it. At his age he represents a living link to an older interpretive tradition, and I'd happily take his unflashy precision over flashier batons any day.
