I don't mind this one at all. The message it sends to me is that Herbie took the music seriously.

Perhaps this calls for a separate thread, but I find it very difficult to be a fan of a conductor, any conductor... Unless you play in an orchestra, the conductor's real work (running rehearsals) is hidden from your view.

Well, you should be able to HEAR it....

I credit HvK for not having crazy "classical hair". We could run a long thread on the bizarre head-toppings of various conductors and musicians.

Karajan's image in an alternate universe:





Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

Tamas Vasary conducting the 4th symphony was my favourite part of that Vaughan Williams doco, but I couldn't help thinking he looked like one of the Three Stooges.
