As an orchestral musician with limited tolerance for conductors who engage in choreography to draw attention to themselves, rather than helping the musicians play well together, i find these (unwitting) caricatures of conducting to be absolutely hilarious. I can somewhat excuse Uchida, as at least her gestures, as odd as they are, seem to be in service of the music, but some of the piano-ists look like absolute buffoons. Perhaps that is the image (Friedrich) Gulda in that hat is trying to cultivate, but the "triple axel" Rach 3, what a silly joker...
@@Kaoskadosk What's funny is while I was watching the video I was wondering if it were possible to conduct and play something as hard as Rach 3 at the same time.. That was the exact moment this clip came up, answering my question.
My God, I laugh and get angry at the same time. Except Barenboim, no one is a real conductor. Btw, it is just me or Gavrilov is playing worst every year?
Some of these are absurd because you simply can't do Rachmaninov or Beethoven's Emperor without a conductor. The best is Uchida because she's a great pianist and because you don't need a seperate conductor in Mozart piano concertos, though it does help. She's a decent conductor here. Don't forget that she's communicating with the 0rchestra when conducting, NOT with the audience. It's not like Cab Calloway, who was just beating time. Also, I think Gulda (in the Emperor) played the piano part well.
Although Gulda's gesture is pretty weird, but his music is excellent I really love the Beethoven 5th piano concerto he performed. But what happened to Mr. Gavrilov??Couldn't believe that's him......
(2:50) "The coast is clear".....at least he looks like he's having a good time...lol...like he's not taking himself too seriously. He reminds me of Oscar on the "Odd Couple".....backwards hat and all xD
1:35 who is that? The others i get, they're conducting Arachmaninoff or Mozart's 20th, but this guy's conducting a nursery rhyme like it's Beethoven's 10th

I love classical music. Everything from funny stereotypes to intense passages to insanely beautiful pieces. It really moves me.
gotta love Mitsuko Haha
philly cream cheese OMG HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA WEAVE WHERE ART THOU!
"cheese nom nom"
Keith Foester or "caught me a fish"
I made it until 2:55
Literally thought that was hj freaks at first
I will show you, don’t worry. Lol k
@@bolanddewsnap5698 spoiler alert: he REALLY DID NOT.
Poor guy.
Everytime I find one that I like the next one is better.
Do more of this, please.. I am literally rolling in laughter now
my gosh this is PURE GENIUS
OMG so hysterical. Clever. I'm a concert pianist and this nailed the styles of conducting. Mitsuko was esp funny.
Concert pianist has a particular meaning.
Netflix and chill! That one got me. Thanks, I needed the laugh.
heres a little known fact: i put "pixie hands" in my conductors notes. about time someone followed my cues.
I will NOT
I love how half of them are from the Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto
This turned out to be dimensions funnier than I expected 😂😂😂
Rach 3 was very disrespectfully portrayed.
My thought was "If you're going to conduct as well as play the piano, why the *hell* do you pick Rach 3 to do it?"

@@tidnid1869 Have you heard Rachmaninoff's recording?
Absolutely
Chopin 1 has the flexibility, not rach 3
Yeah but Mitusko Uchida gets a great performance as does Barenboim
"The coast is clear"
Gulda is by far the most hilarious
Everyone overboard
@@sebastianzaczek My personal favourite is "Philly cheese nom nom". The last part just killed me.
And "Netflix and chill" is just MOOD :-)
YES
NO
MAYBE SO
GULDA is the man!!! 😃😃 But see what beautiful sound he gets out of the orchestra 😎
I LOVE this video!!! One of my conducters had mastered the Sophie’s choice and headbangers ball
My God, I laugh and get angry at the same time. Except Barenboim, no one is a real conductor. Btw, it is just me or Gavrilov is playing worst every year?
He's going the way of the Pogorelich
"how the mighty have fallen" indeed
You must thank to God that Pogorelich doesn't conduct.....
Well, he does force conductors to chase after his random tempi.
And Barenboim uses nothing but his eyebrows.
Oh dear what is it with these guys butchering Rachmaninoff so badly 😂
the first one, here: 0:12, GOD, those last notes were a mess.
I wanna cry 😂😂😂
And guess what. He is the winner of 1974 Tchaikovsky competition!!! LMFAO
I'm picturing Sergei making these gestures and expressions and my brain is exploding.
Daniel Lu Sergei was actually apparently very restrained both with the piano and conducting.
17 pianists have downvoted this video.
Thank you so much for this!
This is one of the funniest videos I have ever seen!
Mitsuko loves the music a what she does.
Oh my god IM CRYINNGGG THIS IS TOO HILARIOUS
truly hysterical!
Absolutely brilliant
we want more please. We need more!!!
Friedrich Gulda was truly a goddamn legend...
Please make more of these!!
I’m a pianist and I found this the funniest video I’ve seen in a month

1:09 let's take a moment of laugh❤❤
6:00 My favourite one
You genius, thank you!!!
The music goes well with the gestures as well.
Thanks for making me laugh so much!!!!
This is sooooo good
Daniel Barenboim's spot on
Uchida rocks! Love that woman!
Philly Cream Cheese nomnomnomnom
BRAVO!!!
I LOST IT IN STRANGER THINGS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Love it
Although Gulda's gesture is pretty weird, but his music is excellent
I really love the Beethoven 5th piano concerto he performed.
But what happened to Mr. Gavrilov??Couldn't believe that's him......
Richter advise he have a problem of egomania and narcissism to be a good musician
When the classic beat drops
Lol Mitsuko san make my day!! hahahahahahahahaha!
Stranger Things?
I did NOT know she was a fan lol.
@@glenngouldschair390 she was trying to call mozart from his grave
4:34 i love Mozart ❤️
LMAO... Most appropriate move descriptions ever :D
I bring to you all the conducting styles of Carter Simmons. You're so amazingly welcome!
This is so awesome, I love that everyone has a different style! Also, I think 1:54 was a young Daniel Barenboim, so that was cool to see
My god this is too good I'm dying
A new Olympic event. Like synchronized swimming only faster. The triple axel was brilliant, that would get a 9.5 (his recovery needs some practice).
Expertly observed.
Its more amazing that you found all the matching moves lol
Anyone know where that shoulder bounce comparison video is from at 4:27?
Please put the name of these pieces up pls pls
(2:50) "The coast is clear".....at least he looks like he's having a good time...lol...like he's not taking himself too seriously. He reminds me of Oscar on the "Odd Couple".....backwards hat and all xD
LOVED IT...🤣🤣🤣
Someone :You are the conductor
That dancing man : No I'm the condancetor
Someone : The ... who?
1:26
Shout out to Slipped Disc, thanks: slippedisc.com/2018/01/watch-what-great-pianists-can-teach-great-conductors/
I know what you did last summer 😂 best one
The last one really is something.
4:02 Look at the lady's resigned expression. Hahahaha...
Same expression at 1:28
haha oh man that's so gold. he may as well be spitting on her and her morale is just gone
great video great humour lol
1:35 who is that?
The others i get, they're conducting Arachmaninoff or Mozart's 20th, but this guy's conducting a nursery rhyme like it's Beethoven's 10th
Naoumoff. He's brilliant but he does seem crazy as a shithouse rat.
It's a Mozart concerto where's the respect ?
this is actually amazing hahahaha
This is hilarious!
What's the concerto young Daniel Barenboim is playing? (the first one) It's beautiful!
Mozart 26 & 13
I thought this a serious demonstration. It's entertaining.
this is genius
jetzt kapiert hoffentlich jeder, was der Unterschied von einemPianisten und einem richtigen Dirigenten ausmacht.
Danke schön (Trans: "Now, hopefully, everyone will understand the difference between a pianist and a real conductor")
hoffentlich...
Ja, ein Pianist kann Klavier spielen 😜
クライヴァーンとグルダのかっこよさは異常
Awesome I laughed so hard
Wow he did an Axel at the end...
Lovely! But the clips are sooo short :)
I am crying of laughter!
hahaha! This is the best. :D
What concerto is Van Cliburn playing from 00:57?
All of Van Cliburn's clips are Prokofiev's third concerto
this is so hilarious and true at the same time rip
Good vid
this is freakin’ hilarious. :}
And now watch in double speed
Hilarious! Thanks!
LMAO!!! Hilarious! Just too funny!
0:59 Clean
What is "the hypnotist" piece?
Can anybody tell me what the piece was during the Fond Farewell/Robin Williams at 2:26?
+yeah oh right rach 3 2nd movement
hillarious
1:12 *HULK SMASH*
I kind of like Uchida. As a cellist, I have issues with Daniel Barenboim, even though he's an outstanding pianist and conductor.
Poor Jacqueline 😥
who's the "4th down with 3 seconds to go" pianist at 1:12 ? would like to listen to the full recording ^^
The Fuggedaboutit is my favourite. Notice the guy in the audience who just starts laughing when it's over.
Now that's conducting.
I love Gulda!
who wrote 1:30 ? i love this ! thanks
Pianists are a damn menace
What piece is Barenboim playing from 2:36?

Art Song Transpositions Thank you very much
love cliburns
I can’t stop laughing at the “Stranger Things” moment.
Who the heck is the pianist at 1:15!
What's the piece at 6:03?
