Seiji Ozawa appears to have established connections with luminaries such as Karajan and Bernstein, collaborated with esteemed orchestras including the New York Philharmonic, Vienna Philharmonic, and Berlin Philharmonic, and assumed pivotal roles like the music directorship of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Vienna State Opera. While these accomplishments are commendable, we may wonder about his engagements with Japanese orchestras. It is noteworthy that Ozawa has not conducted several premier Japanese orchestras. It would have been a source of immense pride had Seiji Ozawa as a globally recognized conductor lent his expertise to Japanese orchestras with equal fervor.
