Politics aside, the work he did with the orchestra speaks for itself. Do you have any pre-Dutoit MSO recordings? The conductor's job isn't to make you happy, the conductors job is to bring out the best in his musicians and to put together effective musical interpretations. Of the 40 some-odd conductors in my CD library, it's my personal opinion that Dutoit was better at that than anyone else.

I'm sad to see him go, but this could lead to a great opportunity for another orchestra somewhere. Everybody wins, maybe?
