When, many years ago, Tintner was conducting the Queensland Symphony
Orchesra on a regular basis, he seemed so frail that I sometimes wondered
if he would last to his next scheduled concert. Since then he seems to
have produced a number of highly recommended recordings!
Perhaps in his case touring would be a bit too much of an effort.
BTW, all those years ago he was very highly regarded in Brisbane. We heard
him first!
