Grieg - In the Hall of the Mountain King - Igor Manasherov, Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra

[@ryanwiseman9141]

First time I've ever seen a conductor that I actually got what he was doing. I freely admit to being a layman. This is one of my favorites

[@mkeitel]

I am a student of orchestra conducting and he does things totally against what I've been trained to do. Yet it works and looks very entertaining! :)

[@AM_CLARKE]

I play, and honestly the way he’s conducting looks difficult to understand and would probably mess me up

[@chrixangezzq6377]

I'm not very good with subdiving myself so personally if he were tp conduct like that I would've been lost. But then again judging base on the nature of the song I can see why he conducted like that

[@norwegiandanish]

Haha i Was exactly about to write the same, i must admit this looks more like What a conductor should do than any other conductor ive seen, but then again i have no idea or knowledge on how they should do it. He Looked really focused on specific parts of the orcestra instead just looking generally and waving hes hands at random as it looks like with other conductors

[@SerenityM16]

My favorite part about this song: it always sounds like there’s a choir somewhere in the end singing, but there’s not, I’m not sure if that’s the violins or some other instrument but it amazes me

[@anakinskinwalker1724]

I believe it's flutes and violins, not a choir

[@darkprose]

It does sound like there are high-pitched little wails or screams when the full orchestra comes in. It's some combination of the winds, the flutes and piccolo or something. But, yeah, it absolutely sounds like eerie, wordless voices. By the way, have you heard the choral version of this piece? As part of the incidental music for _Peer Gynt,_ the trolls come in at the end. This tune also shows up later when Peer escapes and is hunted by the trolls. If you love this music, look for the complete work. It's all on KZbin. Search for "peer gynt complete incidental music."
