The text of the RPO article states that Yuri Temirkanov was appointed principal conductor in 1992. Should he not be included in the template? Tim Riley 09:25, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

the rpo website doesn't list him as ever being principal conductor. he was most likely 'principal guest', but i can't find anything to substantiate that either. --emerson7 | Talk 23:50, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It's hidden away, but it's there. Very odd. [1]Tim Riley 12:55, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

hmmmm...you are correct. i don't think this template in its current form is flexible enough to handle the rpo's rather complex leadership structure. it's like they hand out titles like popcorn much like the dot.coms of yore. based on past conductors and current conductors...as far as i can tell, the order of precedence is:

  1. conductor laureate (ceremonial like the Queen)
  2. music director
  3. artistic director
  4. chief conductor
  5. principal conductor
  6. principal guest conductor
  7. principal associate conductor
  8. permanent guest conductor
  9. associate guest conductor
  10. associate conductor

i'll try to tease out what/who does/did what and when and try to reflect the results in the template. cheers. --emerson7 | Talk 15:12, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're absolutely right. I've just blown the dust off a 1994 programme note which lists the following stable:
President/Associate Conductor: The Lord Menuhin, OM, KBE
Music Director: Vladimir Ashkenazy
Principal Conductor: Yuri Temirkanov
Principal Guest Conductor: Sir Charles Mackerras
Associate Conductor/Composer: Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, CBE
Associate Conductors: Vernon Handley; Gennadi Rozhdestvensky
Artistic Director, Royal Philharmonic Mariinsky-Kirov Series: Valery Gergiev

Old Uncle Tom Cobbley was presumably omitted in error. Tim Riley 19:05, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]


i've constructed a quick and dirty timeline from the data gleaned form the website. it becomes much more readily apparent when viewed graphically...most notably, the tendency towards overlapping tenures.
