The most musically evocative conducting gestures I've ever seen have always been from Kleiber. An orchestra under his baton sounds exactly the way he looks.
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful observation about Kleiber! His ability to visually embody the music is truly inspiring-something every conductor can aspire to. 😊
Superb job. I heard him 4 times at the Met Opera and his Rosenkavalier was amazing. My friend, a cellist in the orchestra said he was the greatest he played for by far, and that includes Karajan, Bohm, Bernstein, Levine and many many others.
There is a mistery in this "live" (?) performance: the instant change of children ((at 1:59)) in the theatre box on the right of Kleiber....Then, the boy comes back at the beginning of second movement!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I understand what you mean about some modern conducting styles feeling more "athletic and hyperbolic." Conductors today often bring their own individuality to the podium, and styles can vary greatly. Balancing expressive gestures with precision is a challenge for any conductor, as we strive to communicate the music as clearly and emotionally as possible. Regarding your point about women, it’s important to recognize the incredible contributions of female conductors in bringing unique interpretations and inspiring leadership to the field. Their work, like that of their male counterparts, is helping to shape the future of music. 😊

Thank you for uploading this higher-resolution version. I can never watch him enough!
You're very welcome! I'm so glad you enjoy it-thank you for your kind words.😊
Dear Maestro Baumester: very well down your effort in the digital restoring!

Kleiber is always interesting to watch. But I think the most entertaining/fascinating is Yuri Simonov.
21:47
You mentioned 21:47 as the timestamp for the Finale, right? Got it-I’ve added the timestamps to the description now 😊
Please include name of orchestra and concert hall venue in your description of video. Thanks!
Year of performance?
i can't stand most of today's conductors they are all too athletic and hyperbolic and hard to watch with a straight face, especially the women!
