So nice to see conductor in “conversation” with the orchestra, and with facial gestures that support that.

Herr Järvi zeigt sich hier als begnadeter Pädagoge. Einer der besten Dirigier-Meisterklassen, die es hier auf YouTube zu sehen gibt, neben denen von Herrn Gatti.

Great information on how to lead the orchestra as well as when accompanying a soloist. Thank you for the invaluable guidance. Congratulations to all participants!

I try to imagine the feelings of these students in front of this great orchestra and amazing sounds... Their faces show them. I feel emotioned too. Very powerful but fluid timpani sounds! They remind me of Mr. Rainer Seegers.

I love the type of gestures Eleni naturally does and how she holds the baton. But she must stop singing only the melody in her head ; doing so, she can't hear/listen to the rest of the orchestra.

Sembra che tutto si risolva nel modo di impugnare ls bacchetta! E poi non e' detto che il maestrobsia meglip dell'allievo. L'insegnante non e' muti! Tanto per dire! Ne karajan o bernstein!
