I could get along well with a conductor like this guy. Very clear with the stick.

Re: Conductor that I like
He's great if he conducted like that in front of the London Symphony. It's way overdone in front of just 8 guys.

Re: Conductor that I like
Seems to me that although the players didn't need him so much he helped the performance.
As many conductors do- his interpretive dance emphasized to the observer visually what the players were doing audibly!

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Re: Conductor that I like
We had a sub conductor for a performance. During the warm up she kept asking my section to play louder.
THAT’S a conductor that I like!!

Re: Conductor that I like
I wouldn't have watched him either. I think he added a huge amount of audience visual appeal, but I find that bounce at the ictus disconcerting and I would have put him in the LUFU category, if playing with a group that accomplished.

I personally prefer the ictus to be down - rather than up - and at a particular place whereby the stick LEAVES that place extremely quickly (rather than dwelling/flailing-around in that area for show)....

Re: Conductor that I like
My favorite conductor is Shigeo Genda. A close second is Tatsuya Shimono.
