    And a conductor's job is not to tap the beat for you, their job is to shape and phrase the musical line. No more middle school orchestra conducting .

  • @Strefanash

    You have to understand that this is a professional orchestra, not a youth or middle school orchestra you play in. Only middle school orchestra is where you find conductors beating floor, door, window, ceiling or vanilla pattern.

  • yes the result is good, but is it any wonder that conductors complain at not being followed?. his stick technique is terrible, there is no discernable beat in it. I would have to ignore it and follow the music, as I have had to do in the orchestra (I am abass player) many times over the years.

    if they want to be followed GIVE A CLEAR BEAT. If they cant they will take the consequences

  • What orchestra is this?

  • haha 3:35 the conductor is drilling the first stand violins!!!

  • Very good interpretation at the beginning.

  • agree! but this kind of gesture will receive great result with Elgar's music... lush!!

  • less is more.
