I might add a mention of Oliver Knussen, well-known both as a composer and as a conductor of other people's music. I enjoyed his Prom this year of 20th Century pieces including the Tippett 2nd. I also noticed that he sat to conduct, which was common up to the early 19th Century, but came in for criticism later (Sullivan was often criticised for it, for example).
