Re: Most ridiculous movements?
Not quite the same, but if "movement" can mean "reaction," I think this is priceless. And if I remember correctly, I think this was the last concert the poor guy ever conducted.

Re: Most ridiculous movements?
Not ridiculous, but exaggerated, and effective for both orchestra and audience.
Pines of Rome, finale, one specific "hit" with cymbals, gong, bass drum, whatever else percussion wise, big accent from all the brass, screaming trumpets...
Conductor puts his baton down 1 bar before, the motion is quite like a Pete Townshend windmill.
That's the Sun breaking over The Pines of the Appian Way. It worked. Quite well.

Re: Most ridiculous movements?
I'm not sure how to interpret this conducting movement, but I'm quite sure he's trying to get a "rise" out of the orchestra...
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Perhaps it was a subtle (?) way of indicating that they were "off by a beat" ...windshieldbug wrote:I'm not sure how to interpret this conducting movement, but I'm quite sure he's trying to get a "rise" out of the orchestra...

Who's the tuba player in the above clip? So much for stereotypes.

Re: Most ridiculous movements?
There was a series of ridiculous movements this morning. I think there was something up with the turkey i had for dinner last night...
