For example, the 19th century Austrian/German repertoire, which is far
from being marginal ;-)

You are right: we shall be be optimistic and think about the future of
this great orchestra! Hopefully, the MSO will hire a conductor who has a
very different style than Dutoit. That is why I mentioned the great David
Zinman... A few other names have been mentioned in the newspapers: Talmi,
Tortelier, Krivine, etc. It seems that the MSO board wants to keep some
sort of "French identity". Personnaly, I think they should choose a young
and charismatic conductor, not someone who will necessarily play the same
works as Dutoit!
