If they wanted to have a conductor on the list, they should have rather chosen Michael Tilson Thomas instead.

They're both in bad health so idk about that.

Loving this pick, but then I would....

It might be one year early, but also might not. Decent. I've posted enough on him in the classical musicians thread.

I’ve a feeling this is one year early, he’s lost weight and seems a few steps slower but he wagged the Berlin Phil two weeks ago. (Though the only review I’ve seen says it was dreadful and he was frail/lost).
 

Tilson Thomas, however? Literally saying goodbye very publicly…. He’s on my list.

I saw MTT in concert last month. He looked great for someone with terminal cancer.

But he framed them as farewell gigs, no? Or was that some reviewers hyperbole?

[The farewell] is only about the San Francisco Symphony. MTT still has concerts scheduled up to May 2024.

Barenboim leading the BerlinPhil at the conclusion of 2023. Doesn't look like a worthy 2024 DeathList candidate at all based on these pics.

 

Does anyone here know what "serious neurological condition" Barenboim has been suffering from?

Looks like a zombie compared to MTT, who I saw at the CSO last month. Tilson Thomas did his entire concert standing.

To be honest I've never heard of him, but still more deserving to be on the list than Bill Gate's dad or Derek Draper ever were.

Both of them were hits though, maybe Daniel will make it 3 in a row.

Somehow. This was Nigel Starmer Smith (formerly a big imposing kind of guy) Christmas 2021.

Unable to eat or drink for himself, struggling to breath, not recognising anyone. Meant to have considerably gone downhill SINCE then too.

Should be dropped next year for no other reason other than the fact that he is an incredibly boring pick.

Bill Gates' dad was more fun.

Seems harsh, have you met him then? Oh wait, pick, my error, as you were.

Ah well, better than "random old person we haven't had any news on in 6 years" (Greenspan, Gall, Blix, Turner, and more).
