Beethoven Symphony No.9 - Bernstein 1989 (part 1)

Simplesmente... um espetáculo!

Awesome... nothing more to say... maybe brilliant is the right word.

wow . i hear alot ofpeople say that. but to me the most important person in the orchestra is the conductor. and i dont think your ignorant. i think everyone thinks that the conductor is for show, wen im playing in the orchestra i know who is leader and who keeps me on mark. you know.

@cockfight420 He cues people to come in, and keeps the time. Usually they will go with whatever the instrument that is keeping the beat does to make it sound good. And when they conduct big you play big and when they conductor small you play small. The emotion stems from the conductor.

On a side not, after practicing for many hours with a director you get the idea of what his movements mean and what he wants to hear.

I am a fucking ignorant idiot, and in me saying this I have now excused myself of this blatant stupidity. I would also like others to accept this excuse and facilitate me in understanding things I could easily look up myself, but am to lazy, stupid, ignorant, and mentally retarded to do so myself. Please feel better about telling me how things are and educating me, because that is my purpose, to be stupid so you can feel smart in telling my why, rather in having me look it up myself. Thanks Alot

Simply, the music is interpretation question and the ideas of each one of the musicians it is different. In principle, the director takes charge of unifying times, approaches, and to mark the fair moment of entrance of each instrument. It is not only to play with the stick. Without the director, the orchestra he/she would become a chaos.

makes alot of sense. but whats in beetween how to do they read his actions if all conductors actions are different? do they simply know their conductor like a coach coaches his team or so? im sure if a coach coached another team off the bat hed have a terrible time. is it true with conductors conducting other orchestras?

Is it just me or the sync is off?

i did watch karajan. i just dont understand hw the musicians interpret most of their actions alot of condctors seem like they improv dfferent moves and gestures do they have meaning? or is it just speed and vigor? How does one learn to conduct or read a conductor and follow him. sorry its a ramble.
