Koussevitzky's legacy as a conductor was undoubtedly the emotional power of his performances. Never a stickler for literal adherence to a score's direction, he was fabled for his free-wheeling and personalized interpretations of Romantic and Impressionist repertoire. His penchant for untraditional performances of the classics raised the ire of many critics, but audiences loved him, and under his direction the BSO became a virtuosic unit without peer on the American music scene. His recordings, while known primarily to collectors and devotees of the BSO, have served as the inspiration to legions of musicians who, in the end analysis, have realized that music is the art of direct and unfettered communication.
