Pianists demonstrate proper conducting technique | PART 2

With gestures like these, who needs conductors?

The fail of the Tchaikovsky is too hilarious! Esp the horn

Driest piano concerto no. 1 horns in my life 😆😆😆

[@frankborder]

[@Kris9kris]

Whenever I watch these videos, they never fail to brighten my day. Thank you for that. These wouldn’t be half as funny if the musical performances were actually good. Well, in case of Gulda and a few others, they indeed are, but they juxtapose the old way of conducting beside the piano and the new school of gesticulating with the hands! In the case of classical-era concertos, all you have to do is play col basso or continuo and you’re all set…

@@TrickstersMusic The kind of untrammelled ego and condescension Schiff displays on a regular basis towards all but the few who genuinely idolise him is disheartening. Wait until he accuses all of his critics of antisemitism, that might do the job.

It is so crazy to think that Gould was the most sane conductor here? Btw, Gavrilov is even worst that I remembered, he should be banned from playing 🙄

[@colinwrubleski7627]

Gould is leading Mahler 4, though, right? Then at least he does not have to worry about playing at the same time. But yes, he looks reasonably sober by contrast with some of the other characters...

[@rwang1618]

I actually feel very pretty offended by people playing Rachmaninoff and then conducting themselves. The only benefit I would say was to "impress" the audience and make it almost a circus show. I have performed both Rach 2 and Rach 3 and next year I am going to perform them again. Rachmaninoff himself was extremely sensitive and would not tolerate any imperfection. However, if you look at the greatest pianists, then don't conduct while playing Rachmaninoff. Take Pletnev for example, who is a conductor for many years. He doesn't do that because he knows that any lack of concentration in playing Rachmaninoff's concertos would be disastrous will be probably disrespectful. These "pianists" are nowhere near the level of Pletnev or Argerich or any, and from the recording, the piano playing sounds terrible (I have taken into account the lack of recording quality), the interpretation sounded extremely careless. I am pretty sure Rachmaninoff would be extremely offended when hearing these "interpretations", as I was pretty sure then were worse than Grazunov's failure in performing Rachmaninoff's first symphony which led to his depression for many years. Please respect Rachmaninoff. He wrote catchy tones but it doesn't mean he was only able to please the audience with some sort of "Yanki Doodle" and he was by no means a "second-rate" composer as many would believe.
