David Afkham is obviously a serious thinker about his conducting and music-making and that made for a fascinating chat!
I found out what the difference is between a Principal Conductor and a Chief Conductor / Artistic Advisor, we discussed the important topic of whether to use a stool in rehearsals, and he tells me his memories of working with and assisting the late, great, Bernard Haitink.
