  • It took some guts to choose that piece with Vengerov there, and Sue brought it off with elan. This and her Beethoven 5 were the two most impressive performances of the series I felt. The Beethoven, in particular, showed Sue's true potential as a sculptor in sound.

    Goldie produced thrilling performances but some slow passages were tricky for him - though he coped well with Nimrod.

    For me, it was Sue's ability to subtly vary the dynamics that gave her the edge, and she was a worthy winner.

  • Thank you for uploading this! Couldn't believe she chose this, I thought she did an absolutely brilliant job.

  • Hmmm. the part at 2:50 onwards seemed to lack direction. It needed to bemore punchy and bold (detached) in my view.

  • This makes me so happy! :) It's a pleasure to watch her conduct. I showed this to my granny, who is a musician, and she said she was fabulous, especially for an amateur. She really has musical talent!

  • You're right, but don't forget this is a TV show (it's made to entertain!) and she's not a conductor... she's not even a musician! If you see it with a bit of perspective it's quite good for an amateur.

  • i think what killed the intensity was the tempo she took at 2:33..... gave no room for a dramatic ritard poco a poco....she drug out the end... otherwise it was fairly decent in my opinion

  • bloody hell! what happened to the passion of the peices. Her interpretation is horrible. She has no style! She totally degraded Stravinsky! This was the worst I have ever seen. I would have no respect for this conductor whatsoever.

  • NOOOO she killed the ending, one of my most favorite parts in all the world of music. it was played well, but she drained it of the super-extreme intensity that is Stravinsky

  • yeah, especially considering the horn solo pretty much starts the finale

  • I'm confused.

    What's the point of this..? It sounds so much.. worse than the original Firedbird. Also... is she actually conducting or waving her hand around just to show how much sound should be produced...?

  • really well done but im kinda disappointed that the horn solo was left out at the beginnning :(

  • Esse comentário vai ter que ser em português hehehe.... enquanto aqui a gente tem que aguentar os BBB da vida, os reality shows lá são disputa entre maestro.. puta paisinho de merda o nosso viu , kkkkkkkkk

    mais algum músico brasileiro ai ???

    sensacional o vídeo e o programa ( não digo o mesmo da regência... rss)
