  • yes it is indeed a toothpick...I just saw him tonight in New York conducting Mahler without it but he is well known to use the toothpick when he feels the need for a baton, most times he just uses his hands...doesn't really matter what he uses he knows how bring out the best in an orchestra.

  • As long as the players are together, I am happy with the speed. After all, what's this piece after all without excitement?

  • How fast...

  • Absolute quality !!!!!!

  • @ilovemcr22 Actually the half note is 135 :) So the quarter note would be 270 O.o we're playing this too!!

  • In my orchestra, we're playing it just a tad slower than this. Honestly, I think it should be about this speed. It's in cut time, and the quarter note is 135. So.

  • Why is he holding a toothpick

  • comductor's face is always epic

  • Awful! Too fast, too hurried.

  • It's so fast because his baton is obviously not heavy enough!

  • too fast! this is not a 'presto', it is a 'arottadicollo'
