How do you go into different rooms at the same time?

If it was as easy as watching this [awful] video, I wouldn't be spending the money on a Music Ed degree...but guess what...

Wow...just wow...this was 'related' to a Gergiev video! This guy should not be let anywhere near an orchestra. Keep him in this padded room!

AND we have to put up with some advertisement first? How dare you.

Is this expert village meaning he is an expert? I can just imagine sitting in one of his rehearsals waiting for him to finish one of his long hesitant sentences. Some advice from a conductor; always prepare yourself thoroughly. Be it for rehearsal or even making videos online. You don't want to come across as if you haven't put a lot of thought into it.

what this guy tells about conducting is a shame for every professional conductor or student. This can't be meant serious!!

What shotty practices! What ensemble has the time? Even by the way you speak one can tell you've only ever dealt with naive children. A conductor shouldn't learn a piece with the orchestra. Any conductor who has worked with a union ensemble- or even apathetic teenagers knows one must be concise and effective in rehearsal technique. It helps no one to run a piece ad nauseum.
