The Vienna Philharmonic has just issued a new book on its 55-year relationship with Herbert von Karajan, dating from his debut in 1934 to his death in 1989.

In the opening paragraph it mentions that one living conductor overtook Karajan’s long-service record in 2016.

Any idea who?

UPDATE: It’s…. Zubin Mehta.
