They are the best in the land,
They know how to conduct a band.

I do appreciate a good conductor who can get the best out of the orchestra. However I do think that some of them must have an ego, they seem to get all the lime light on CD covers, the orchestra itself hardly seems to get a mention.

Ego-trip? Conductors? You're pulling my leg!
