Actually Most of what he talked about was correct he just didn't know how to say it. The one thing that i would strongly disagree on is when he said dont look goofy o smile. You should do what you feel to describe the music. If you want to cry then cry...if you want to laugh then laugh. I invite you to watch Carlos Klieber conduct Beethoven's 7th. Truly a visionary in the world of conducting. Also check out Mr. Aubado, Metha, and Sir Simon Rattle. These are GREAT conductors. Have any questions?
not this guys's fault: ALL conducting is bullshit. "Give any musician - with no orchestral training -- in a medium quality orchestra 6 months to learn to conduct the Beethoven Violin C. Then give any conductor -- with no training on the violin -- 6 months to learn to PERFORM the Beethoven violin concerto. This counter-example is unanswerable and constituites the deathknell of the "art" of conducting. The Orpheus orchestra is merely more empirical evidence of this
EVERY conductor has to find his very own style - there is no general plan. The way you are showing will lead to something like a boring standard technique. For amateurs it´s quite good though.
horrible. example, karajan didnt get super technical like this. Follow your own conducting style and if the orchestra has any brains, they'll follow. Karajan isnt very strict in his cinducting, yet his orchestra follows him gracefully, moving elbow and all. pffftttttt, nice try anyway
...Interesting. I personally find his plane of conducting too high for his chest, his beats too vertical to carry sound...Even his initial stance shows his left elbow slightly lower than his right elbow. Also, his legato beat is not well coordinated between his elbow and wrist movements. He comments on this, but doesn't actually demonstrate it effectively. I could go into more details, save for limited typing space...So, to be brief, I don't recommend this video.
