My Take
What draws me to Oundjian is the rare arc from violinist to conductor. A musician who spent years inside the orchestra, bow in hand, tends to lead with empathy rather than ego, and I suspect that shaped his sound. His parallel life as a music educator tells me he cares about continuity, about handing the craft forward rather than hoarding it. Classical careers resist flashy summary, but figures like him quietly sustain an entire tradition. I respect that kind of patient, generational work far more than louder, more marketable reputations.
