I'm an electrical engineer specialized in telecommunications. I was super happy to see a video about why good and bad conductors make a difference. I wasn't expecting this. Still enjoyed it 9/10

If you can conduct slowly, you can conduct quickly.

This gives a really 2020-2021 TwoSetViolin vibe. I love these quality videos that delve into classical music, they're so entertaining and educational.

Eddy has jumpstarted his conductor journey by messing-up his hair 😅

I felt very safe is my new compliment for when someone does a good job

Good point about the rehearsals too - I often think that a big part of the conductor's job is NOT what they do on the podium at the concert, it's how they prep the orchestra. A great conductor could still do a good job on minimal rehearsal, but the ideal situation is that they have rehearsal time to prep the orchestra for what they want on the day of.

A good conductor is consistent in his/her moves and, most importantly, MAKES FACES. It's not always obvious to us musicians following a score what energy to give to the performance by hand gestures alone: a good angry or relaxed face make all the difference

I was privileged enough to play in a concert with Rattle a few months ago, he came out of retirement to play with our youth orchestra. This man is unholy. During rehearsal he could pick out the tiniest details which even we didnt notice looking st our parts, and elevaate the sound to another level. He wasnt just conducting he was making music.

There should be part two. We'd love to see more of you playing under different conductors and giving your on-point impressions.

My dad once performed with Karajan when he was still in uni and he is still IMPRESSED.

I’ll just say: I found this channel April 2 years ago. They pulled me out of a tough spot and saved me from having to repeat the 10th grade. Now, I’m sitting here writing this comment only a few hours after I walked across the stage. I’ll never forget these videos. They are such treat to watch, and I’ve genuinely learned a lot. I wish you all the best, and please never lose this beautiful talent.

As someone who has never played in an orchestra, this video was very interesting, but I want MORE!!! More explanation what makes a conductor clear or not, what's some unique features conductors do or how they interpret pieces, and conductor comparisons with dofferences and similarities and maybe some kinds of groups? Like, do Russian conductors do something American ones don't etc

[Elevate-music]

For every like this gets I will practice for 1 hour

…If I hold my instrument in my sleep does that count as practicing?

[himbomanrilej]

loving how different they all are? there's such room for nuance, little decisions that make a performance unique. so glad I'm getting into classical music

[ACaraM]

Time to make a video on semiconductors next.

[nancyjfs]

I learned more about the differences between conductors in this video than I have learned in decades of symphony going. Thanks!

[radrpro]

What Karl Bohm could convey by just his eyes snd shoulders is fascinating. And Von Karajan showed why he was so great. I am sorry you did not include Georg Solti. I had the pleasure of hearing him conduct this from "his" box at Symphony Hall in Chicago snd it was amazing - one of the greatest musical experiences of my life!
