his own compositions have surpassed alot of those he has merely performed

Much less messy, btw, if folks tagged pieces by their composer and not their conductor or soloist.

Heinz Holliger is the most wonderful hautboist of the 20th century ! Though, I don't know him at all as a conductor... He sometimes gives conferences at the CNSM (Paris), but I never could go and listen to him ;_;
