Well, this was why I used the “amateur” in the quotes. Amateurism described as a pursuit to something without formal qualification or professional status. Surely Günter Wand was not a sub-qualified person  and he was a professional conductor but as a professional conductor he was self-taught, the very much as Scherchen Hermann, Carlos Kleiber, Nocolay Golovanov, Asahina Takashi, Thomas Beecham and many others, including reportedly Gustav Mahler. I do not know way I say it but I very much like the status of “amateur conductor”. Perhaps I am still under the influence of that BBC program about Carlos Kleiber…
