Too much left hand.

[Varakarajan]

There is no such thing as "too much left hand" or "too little left hand". People just happen to have two hands and we use both when we conduct. Watch any video recording of Herbert von Karajan and tell me did he use "too much" of his left hand to get the result he got? I prefer the natural two-handed approach anytime to some one-handed (and one-eyed) kapellmeisterish show off.

[bigmacintown]

Sure he used too much left hand. But HE was Karajan. You're not.

So tell me now: who's the show-off...? -)

[Varakarajan]

Well in my opinion he did not use "too much" left hand! :) In conducting there is no rigid rules. There is no authority to tell what is too little what is too much. The fact that someone told you "your left hand should do this your right hand should do that" does not make it a god-given truth. Or maybe your conducting teacher thinks HE is a better conductor than von Karajan?

[bigmacintown]

Ok, since you're pushing me on the ropes in such a civil manner, let me put it this way: you're a crap big-headed conductor. There, happy? -)-)-)

[Varakarajan]

I don't know what you are (or think you are) but let's see some conducting clips of your own and we can have a fair comparison! ;)

Apollo aime le garçon et lè filles

[loamobn]

its easy to be critical of someone else's works. besides which, there are a number of ways to interpret a piece, this conductor's is one of many and should be respected.

excellent work sasha

The url of this video ends with 'kkk'...

[sulami27]

The ending is ok, but I do agree with you, he could have got alot more out of it.

[slapdashus]

He doesn't retard the ending and drag it out to it's profound conclusion. The final sequence seems robotic. Too much attention to the meter and not enough to the expression.

Ozawa and Ansermet perfected it.

bigmacintown got scared and went snivelling to his mama who deleted his account and sent him to bed crying without his blankie

Bon sang mais c'est incroyable: alors que nous devroins tous ici parler de musique, des personnages honteux tels "Bigmacintown" et "floorembden" se permettent d'entretenir un dialogue on ne peut plus scabreux: l'un (Big) se lançant dans une tirade d'injures insupportables, l'autre (floor) se plaisant à révéler une attitude quasi pédéraste... On peut dire que c'est du beau! Bravo les amateurs d'art!

[floorembden]

tu sais tous les garçons ont eu peur, un jour ou l'autre, de ne pas être à la hauteur de la situation. Tu n'as pas à avoir honte ! si tu as des difficultés de ce côté-là, n'aie pas peur d'en parler à ton pharmacien

[chairedepoule78]

Wow! great conductor! and such great music! you Bigmacintown, you don not know how to recognise good things.
