As an orchestral musician with limited tolerance for conductors who engage in choreography to draw attention to themselves, rather than helping the musicians play well together, i find these (unwitting) caricatures of conducting to be absolutely hilarious. I can somewhat excuse Uchida, as at least her gestures, as odd as they are, seem to be in service of the music, but some of the piano-ists look like absolute buffoons. Perhaps that is the image (Friedrich) Gulda in that hat is trying to cultivate, but the "triple axel" Rach 3, what a silly joker...
Some of these are absurd because you simply can't do Rachmaninov or Beethoven's Emperor without a conductor. The best is Uchida because she's a great pianist and because you don't need a seperate conductor in Mozart piano concertos, though it does help. She's a decent conductor here. Don't forget that she's communicating with the 0rchestra when conducting, NOT with the audience. It's not like Cab Calloway, who was just beating time. Also, I think Gulda (in the Emperor) played the piano part well.
(2:50) "The coast is clear".....at least he looks like he's having a good time...lol...like he's not taking himself too seriously. He reminds me of Oscar on the "Odd Couple".....backwards hat and all xD
Although Gulda's gesture is pretty weird, but his music is excellent I really love the Beethoven 5th piano concerto he performed. But what happened to Mr. Gavrilov??Couldn't believe that's him......
@@Kaoskadosk What's funny is while I was watching the video I was wondering if it were possible to conduct and play something as hard as Rach 3 at the same time.. That was the exact moment this clip came up, answering my question.
My God, I laugh and get angry at the same time. Except Barenboim, no one is a real conductor. Btw, it is just me or Gavrilov is playing worst every year?

I love classical music. Everything from funny stereotypes to intense passages to insanely beautiful pieces. It really moves me.
Everytime I find one that I like the next one is better.
gotta love Mitsuko Haha
philly cream cheese OMG HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA WEAVE WHERE ART THOU!
"cheese nom nom"
Keith Foester or "caught me a fish"
I made it until 2:55
Literally thought that was hj freaks at first
I will show you, don’t worry. Lol k
@@bolanddewsnap5698 spoiler alert: he REALLY DID NOT.
Poor guy.
OMG so hysterical. Clever. I'm a concert pianist and this nailed the styles of conducting. Mitsuko was esp funny.
Concert pianist has a particular meaning.
Do more of this, please.. I am literally rolling in laughter now
Netflix and chill! That one got me. Thanks, I needed the laugh.
I love how half of them are from the Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto
my gosh this is PURE GENIUS
This turned out to be dimensions funnier than I expected 😂😂😂
I LOVE this video!!! One of my conducters had mastered the Sophie’s choice and headbangers ball
GULDA is the man!!! 😃😃 But see what beautiful sound he gets out of the orchestra 😎
This is one of the funniest videos I have ever seen!
heres a little known fact: i put "pixie hands" in my conductors notes. about time someone followed my cues.
I will NOT
I’m a pianist and I found this the funniest video I’ve seen in a month
Thank you so much for this!
Yeah but Mitusko Uchida gets a great performance as does Barenboim
we want more please. We need more!!!
Mitsuko loves the music a what she does.
Please make more of these!!
truly hysterical!
Absolutely brilliant
The music goes well with the gestures as well.
Oh my god IM CRYINNGGG THIS IS TOO HILARIOUS
Friedrich Gulda was truly a goddamn legend...
I bring to you all the conducting styles of Carter Simmons. You're so amazingly welcome!
"The coast is clear"
Gulda is by far the most hilarious
Everyone overboard
@@sebastianzaczek My personal favourite is "Philly cheese nom nom". The last part just killed me.
And "Netflix and chill" is just MOOD :-)
YES
NO
MAYBE SO
You genius, thank you!!!
6:00 My favourite one

Thanks for making me laugh so much!!!!
This is so awesome, I love that everyone has a different style! Also, I think 1:54 was a young Daniel Barenboim, so that was cool to see
I LOST IT IN STRANGER THINGS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Shout out to Slipped Disc, thanks: slippedisc.com/2018/01/watch-what-great-pianists-can-teach-great-conductors/
This is sooooo good
1:09 let's take a moment of laugh❤❤
LMAO... Most appropriate move descriptions ever :D
My god this is too good I'm dying
A new Olympic event. Like synchronized swimming only faster. The triple axel was brilliant, that would get a 9.5 (his recovery needs some practice).
Love it
(2:50) "The coast is clear".....at least he looks like he's having a good time...lol...like he's not taking himself too seriously. He reminds me of Oscar on the "Odd Couple".....backwards hat and all xD
Its more amazing that you found all the matching moves lol
BRAVO!!!
17 pianists have downvoted this video.
I know what you did last summer 😂 best one
Expertly observed.
When the classic beat drops
Daniel Barenboim's spot on
Uchida rocks! Love that woman!
Philly Cream Cheese nomnomnomnom
this is actually amazing hahahaha
Although Gulda's gesture is pretty weird, but his music is excellent
I really love the Beethoven 5th piano concerto he performed.
But what happened to Mr. Gavrilov??Couldn't believe that's him......
Richter advise he have a problem of egomania and narcissism to be a good musician
great video great humour lol
4:34 i love Mozart ❤️
LOVED IT...🤣🤣🤣
Rach 3 was very disrespectfully portrayed.
My thought was "If you're going to conduct as well as play the piano, why the *hell* do you pick Rach 3 to do it?"

@@tidnid1869 Have you heard Rachmaninoff's recording?
Absolutely
Chopin 1 has the flexibility, not rach 3
Lol Mitsuko san make my day!! hahahahahahahahaha!
Stranger Things?
I did NOT know she was a fan lol.
@@glenngouldschair390 she was trying to call mozart from his grave
This is hilarious!
I thought this a serious demonstration. It's entertaining.
The last one really is something.
I am crying of laughter!
LMAO!!! Hilarious! Just too funny!
My God, I laugh and get angry at the same time. Except Barenboim, no one is a real conductor. Btw, it is just me or Gavrilov is playing worst every year?
He's going the way of the Pogorelich
"how the mighty have fallen" indeed
You must thank to God that Pogorelich doesn't conduct.....
Well, he does force conductors to chase after his random tempi.
And Barenboim uses nothing but his eyebrows.
Awesome I laughed so hard
this is genius
Please put the name of these pieces up pls pls
this is freakin’ hilarious. :}
Oh dear what is it with these guys butchering Rachmaninoff so badly 😂
the first one, here: 0:12, GOD, those last notes were a mess.
I wanna cry 😂😂😂
And guess what. He is the winner of 1974 Tchaikovsky competition!!! LMFAO
I'm picturing Sergei making these gestures and expressions and my brain is exploding.
Daniel Lu Sergei was actually apparently very restrained both with the piano and conducting.
Anyone know where that shoulder bounce comparison video is from at 4:27?
hahaha! This is the best. :D
this is so hilarious and true at the same time rip
Wow he did an Axel at the end...
4:02 Look at the lady's resigned expression. Hahahaha...
Same expression at 1:28
haha oh man that's so gold. he may as well be spitting on her and her morale is just gone
0:59 Clean
I can’t stop laughing at the “Stranger Things” moment.
Hilarious! Thanks!
jetzt kapiert hoffentlich jeder, was der Unterschied von einemPianisten und einem richtigen Dirigenten ausmacht.
Danke schön (Trans: "Now, hopefully, everyone will understand the difference between a pianist and a real conductor")
hoffentlich...
Ja, ein Pianist kann Klavier spielen 😜
Now that's conducting.
I kind of like Uchida. As a cellist, I have issues with Daniel Barenboim, even though he's an outstanding pianist and conductor.
Poor Jacqueline 😥
Someone :You are the conductor
That dancing man : No I'm the condancetor
Someone : The ... who?
1:26
Lovely! But the clips are sooo short :)
The Fuggedaboutit is my favourite. Notice the guy in the audience who just starts laughing when it's over.
What's the concerto young Daniel Barenboim is playing? (the first one) It's beautiful!
Mozart 26 & 13
At least we know they're enjoying themselves hahaha
クライヴァーンとグルダのかっこよさは異常
I lost it at Headbanger's Ball.
I love Gulda!
hillarious
And now watch in double speed
Pianists are a damn menace
Good vid
who wrote 1:30 ? i love this ! thanks
Can anybody tell me what the piece was during the Fond Farewell/Robin Williams at 2:26?
+yeah oh right rach 3 2nd movement
What is "the hypnotist" piece?
What concerto is Van Cliburn playing from 00:57?
All of Van Cliburn's clips are Prokofiev's third concerto
who's the "4th down with 3 seconds to go" pianist at 1:12 ? would like to listen to the full recording ^^
Song list please
I'm more amused by the titles than I am by the ….conductors...?? ...Philly Cream Cheese...nom nom ….Fear and Loathing at the Finnish Disco.…. x-D
I still know what you did last summer😂
love cliburns
