Poll Suggestion: The Most Inconspicuous Director
Antonio Vivaldi (1678 –1741) was an Italian composer and virtuoso violinist.
Born in Venice, Vivaldi is regarded as one of the greatest composers in the History of Music.
His best-known work is a series of violin concertos known as the Four Seasons (listen here).
After almost two centuries of decline, Vivaldi's music underwent a revival in the early 20th century. Many of Vivaldi's compositions, once thought lost, have been rediscovered — in one case as recently as 2006. His music remains widely popular in the present day.
Surprisingly, his most famous work, The Four Seasons, was unknown during the Classical and Romantic periods of music and Vivaldi himself died in poverty. (Wikipedia)
Which of these "not so hyped", relatively unknown, even famous for not being famous, contemporary directors — still alive or deceased — would you eventually care to know a little bit more of his life's work?

Are these examples of people whose work we've seen yet their names tend not to ring any bells?
