We're talking here about Blomstedt, Haitink, Karajan, and that's fine.
However surely there are exciting under age 50 conductors we like.
Be my guest...

In light of this topic I woud say I tend to check out Pablo Heras Casado whenever he pops up on youtube.
I love watching Santtu Rouvali, even though his repertoire is a little
meh.
Dima Slobendiouk, formerly of the Sinfonia de Galicia, is just under
fifty. He accomplished the rare feat of performing a set of perfect
Mozart symphonies.

The way I heard Chailly, he is mainly into modernist music. Or was. He
may have changed by now.
There is a Chailly Stravinsky box, eleven CDs in all, of which I have
about six in single issues. Chailly's is the best of today's Stravinsky
on CD, together with the Salonen set with the London Philharmonic on
Sony.
I also have the double CD with Hindemith Kammermusiken. Terrific.
The Concertgebouw reverb was not a good fit for Chailly.

Gerard: "He has changed, or so.
Maybe I have the same Stravinsky (around 6 discs too, anyhow not 11) and certainly the same Hindemith recordings.
Re the modernistic he did a lot,mostly Stravinsky, but he was never a completist. He did not much with Prokofiev; a little more Varèse,
Schoenberg, Messiaen, Zemlinsky, Janacek, Ravel, Schnittke."
Times have changed. Record companies aren't too eager to make that kind
of recordings anymore, and concert halls aren't programming those
composers anymore.
Like I said: Stravinsky should have had the stature of a Beethoven by
now; however he's hardly ever programmed.
In Amsterdam, Mariss Janssons started this Classic FM repertoire shrink. Chailly's coming to conduct Bruckner 9 this fall.
I remember getting Chailly's double CD with Schumann symphonies in
Mahler's orchestration, but I just didn't get the point of making these recordings,.
