Thank you. I was watch what was this same performance on Youtube I think but for some stupid reason it was restricted. So again you wonderful person thank you.
@brettsmithy778 Me too! He's the Concertmaster, aka defacto peer leader of the ensemble following the Conductor - if you notice the downbeat of the climax at 3:11, the conductor's cue is emotive/artistic since it lacks a clear ictus (point of impact signifying a beat) ; the concertmaster realizes this and exaggerates his movements to help the rest of the orchestra keep the beat. Cool shit.
Just listen to the same piece conducted by the late great Sir Adrian Boult with the London Philharmonic and tell me hes not the greatest conductor who ever lived!!
