Ernest Ansermet
Ansermet was largely self-taught.  His conducting was very different from that of many of the other famous conductors of the time such as Pierre Monteux, Wilhelm Furtwängler and Otto Klemperer.  He did not like the way that Stravinsky kept making changes to his works.  He conducted works by Arthur Honegger and Frank Martin, but did not like serial music such as that of Arnold Schoenberg.
