the Worst conductors

[steicatsy78]

povero Puccini.Svizzeri del cazzo,ma fate la cioccolata e non andate a rompere il cazzo in giro

[VisionScientist]

What is this man doing?

[dollemannetje]

the cameraman is also somewhat strange...(drunk too???)

[wassollsauch]

seems like puccinis mass attracts bad conductors. i once played it in my own orchestra which i rehearsed with before, in order to get things right... and i was just angry, because the "conductor" messed everything up :-)

[rino214]

@bene951 Anyone who knows a thing about An orchestra knows that the group will be a slight hair off of the conductor. Now, In a BAND, the group is in time with the Conductor. Get your facts straight.

[robofmusic]

eugh, i hate it when conductors turn the downbeat into an upward motion >_>

[JDBMW1]

@whoabelly2002 True. But look at it this way: Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra,

Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Bavarian Radio Symphony, Cleveland Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the Budapest Festival Orchestra even with a choir are mainly 1 or 1/5 a beat behind the conductor. It's just something we do to assure ourselves we can be perfectly in line. To be perfectly in line we are one behind, as it were

[morakeo]

is this guy swimming or something,,,???

[alankace]

This isn't bad. I didn't see him convey any passion but at least he knew what he was doing.

[JDBMW1]

The best orchestras are always one beat behind the conductor, but I think he's the one behind! HAHAHA! He's miles behind them!

[HuggumsMcgehee]

Why is that? I've noticed that before, but I thought it might have to do with the placement of the mics or something. Could you explain that please?

[JDBMW1]

When you play in an orchestra or anything that is being conducted you need to be one beat behind to keep time. If you constantly keep pace with the conductor you don't have time to react if he/she 1) makes a mistake or 2) makes a change. I remember in my orchestra days as a violinist my conductor would do that during the performance. So being one beat behind is crucial. You leave room for error.

[HuggumsMcgehee]

Thanks. I've noticed that these superior orchestras always seem about a half beat or more behind the conductor. Now I know why. Thought it was mic placement or something.

[bene951]

@JDBMW1 That is completely and utterly untrue. No orchestra plays a beat behind the conductor. No professional orchestra even needs a conductor to keep time. In performances, it might seem like the orchestra is behind the conductor, but that is only because light travels faster than sound. It is practice, however, for some sections of an orchestra to respond to beats differently depending on their distance from the conductor because of the time it takes for their sound to reach the audience.

@bene951 That is completely and utterly untrue, depends on the conductor

[Glinkaism1]

@bene951 That's digital processing for you. Rather typical. Note that even network TV shows are out of lipsynch and never perfect. The only solution is to go back to analogue. Then you get the video and the audio in real time. :)

[Classicalytrained]

@bene951 Its not a question of Light Traveling faster than sound. in some cases 'Opera conducting' is used, where in places the orchestra play behind the conductor, used in incidentals and at the beginning of new sections of music, where the conductor will give the upbeat and then start before the orchestra join in. A professional orchestra can play without the conductor, but the conductor shapes the piece of music. The conductor sets the tempo and puts emotion into the piece.

[koss121]

he's not conducting beats ha

[smilingdolphin7]

well, for me this is the wors CAMERAMAN/WOMAN in the world...for god's sake keep it still at least for 5 secs, the movement is done by the objects/ppl filmed , not by the camera!!! I get sea-sick watching this

[LeslieRichardGrove]

Wow he's bad...

[matthewR77]

um...you must be around many conductors if this is your "worst."

[jazziesax]

Wow. o_0.

He's old. Give him a break, even if everything he conducts is in one and he conducts with no dynamic contrast. It's okay...because he's old. And the band's good.

[madad666]

hahah! everything is conducted in ones!

[BernardProfitendieu]

I think you mistitled this ... it should have been the Worst Cameramen ai yi yi!!

[Bascoa]
