I can imagine wanting to work with this ensemble and this company always.
A lot of people get impatient with the pace of change.
There is no relationship between the gestures and what an orchestra will do.
Its just that, when the orchestra look at me, I want them to see a completely involved person who reflects what we rehearsed, and whose function is to make it possible for them to do it.
I have a big problem with conductors who gesture a lot.
I grew up in an era where an orchestra was like a treasure chest.
