The Great Conductors - All-Star Extravaganza Edition - Quarter-Finals - Game 1 of 6

The decision to use the word "Great" rather than "Greatest" was intentional.
We are endeavoring to express the perception of "greatness" within this multiplicity of conductors
rather than as a means of identifying and labeling an individual artist.
The intended concept is an attempt to represent and judge those conductors who have elevated craftmanship into true artistry.

The Format -

6 Quarter-Final games of 25 conductors with the 8 receiving the highest point totals from each moving on
to one of two Semi-Final games of 24 with 10 to 12 from each moving on to the Final.

The Rules -

1.) You may vote once per calendar day.

2.) There must be a separation of at least six hours between votes cast on separate calendar days

2.) You will have a total of 20 points to distribute per entry with a maximum of 5 per individual conductor.

3.) Play will end with the first conductor to reach 150 points.

Note: Based upon the number of players, both the Semi-Final and Final games may be increased to 200 points.

I'm glad Sanderling made the final 8! And curious about Kubelik's popularity, he was a great conductor of course, but compared to the others in the top 6? Hm...

This.
