Anton Nanut (13 September 1932 – 13 January 2017) was a renowned Slovenian conductor.
I don't think I have any recordings by him.
He was fairly solid conductor, I've seen him a few times live, never less than decent. RIP.
Here's the finale of Mahler's 4th with his orchestra Lubljana Radio Symphony (again not quite a great orchestra but solid) and boy soprano - Max Emanuel Cencic, aged 11, I think.

Hm. I have a few recordings from when I started collecting; he was a favorite of the super cheapo-labels; Pilz, Vienna Master Classics et al..
I think Mahler and/or Sibelius was my first exposure.
No offense to Maestro Nanut...I used to think the name "Anton Nanut" was a fake name invented by the record companies for the purpose of selling haphazard records under a "name", any name.
There were several names that were used as fakes, that is attached to all kinds of recordings but were nevertheless real names of real conductors. I am not so sure, if this applied to Nanut, but probably to Alfred Scholz who apparently nevertheless existed and did conduct and record.

My very first collection of classical music (a sort of history of music, purchased when I was a teenager) was a 25-CD series, with several disks conducted by Anton Nanut.
I fear Nanut's reputation will continue to be compromised by the relegation of his recordings to obscure, cheap, and off-the-wall CD labels. As described in earlier posts, it's difficult to determine whether one is listening to Nanut or not. I have his recording of Scheherazade on CDs credited to at least two other conductors; in fact I'm not certain he is the actual conductor in the first place. With the demise of the super-bargain labels most of his recordings are out-of-print anyway.

Well we should recommend them to our friend 71dB then.
