Reginald Goodall

Some conductors, you can see, it's all about them.

But one of the things I always remember is that at the English National Opera back in the 80s, there was a wonderful, he was quite old then, conductor named Reginald Goodall.

And the thing was, his conducting style did not, you know, suggest... anything, you know, glorious was going to happen.

You know how when you see old people swimming, they just sort of move their hands around in a circle and move very slowly and they go forward like that.
