- We take a look at one of orchestral music's greatest mysteries; just what is it a conductor does? We speak to the three participants of a recent LSO conducting masterclass, who under the guidance of Principal Conductor Valery Gergiev share their views about what makes a great conductor.
Featuring the music of Rachmaninoff and Mahler. - เพลง
Gergiev is excellent, What he was cueing with his face was rach's 3rd symphony, an extremely underperformed work he has done numerous times, I remember hearing that violin solo with gergiev conducting in a documentary on rachmaninoff and hearing it in my head later a million times.
How frequently does he do these masterclasses, I've conducted for two years now and such an experience would be as you can imagine, great.
i really like these kind of vids. they show the differences between master and student and also, what students may one day become (provided their master is good as gergiev).
@Lso Thanks so much!!! I've only just discovered no 1 and 2 so perfect timing! :D
Wonderful!
Nice informative video
Wonderful. Where do some of these students Study at?
Apart from Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances and Mahler 6, what other music was included in this video?
How do you go about submitting material to
be a part of this workshop? Can Maestrao
Gergiev run this workshop in the US or as
a US citizen could we participate in this
in the UK?
Thanks
Hi vic225, i'm realy interested in DVD of the previous Gergiev festival. Ho can I get it?
@groovybassline There aren't a set of gestures. Its not like learning to park a plane with those ping pong bat things lol. Basically there are basic moves for beats in different times but these become varied by each conductor. A good conductor is a great communicator and uses a bank of his own gestures to convey what he needs to the orchestra.
you should add that the gestures are just the words and not the meaning. And to be able to use the right gestures because of deep understanding of the music. To know what problems an orchestra has.
Compared to that gestures are nothing... just air.
I would take advantage of everything, everyone, every second. OMG… the podium opportunity that is inherent here. Oh, and yes, the videos don’t lie.
@kklocket2 hi - as per comment below yours it's Rachmaninov Symphony No 3 and Symphonic Dances as well as Mahler 6.
I like the girl
3:33 what is he conducting here?
Cristian Spătaru I cannot tell
Cristian Spătaru it may be 4 /4
The conductor at 3:33 has quite a weird conducting style to my untrained eye, especially that gesture at 3:59
Video after video I see aspiring conductors Not feel, nor sound, nor look like conductors. All of these great students are so concerned with 'keeping time' and the look of the orchestra and themselves. Sadly, Wagner ceases to miss the mark - "No one who had not been born a conductor...could ever become one". Simply being, a conductor is one who is gifted in interpreting music, not leading an orchestra. He has the gift of 'FEELING' the music when and where others cannot.
@unitednerdsbeproud you're welcome! We recorded all 3 Rach symphonies not long after this video for our record label LSO Live. No 2 is out now with Nos 1 & 3 to follow soon-ish. Look out for them!
Shouldn't you be doing your math homework?
@robertofiore Hi Roberto. The masterclasses are restricted to UK residents or those studying here, but have a look at our website lso[DOT]co[DOT]uk[forward-slash]conducting as applications are open now for the 2011 masterclass.
@unitednerdsbeproud there's Rachmaniov Symphony No 3 as well.
