A SCOTTISH conductor who made his name in the opera houses of Germany and the United States, but who for years dropped out of sight from the Scottish music scene, was picked yesterday to lead one of the country's top orchestras. Donald Runnicles, born in Edinburgh 52 years ago, was named yesterday as the new chief conductor of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, replacing Ilan Volkov, the Israeli 20 years his junior.
