Reply to comment by Bob_Sconce in I'm Yves Abel, Principal Conductor of the San Diego Opera. I’ve conducted all over the globe, and even got to work with the great Leonard Bernstein while in training. AMA! by sandiegoopera

Try Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff. The former’s symphony’s 5&6 are stunning. The latter’s piano concertos 2&3 are amazing. Then listen to Stravinsky Firebird, Debussy Prelude to an Afternoon of a Faun (a scandal in Paris when premiered).
