      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

      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

      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 UA-cam. Search for "peer gynt complete incidental music."

    I really got the conductor there, its always, when you listen to This Masterpiece, there's an explosion of emotion raging inside, but somehow, you dont want to let it out, the contain, the hold, its just amazing..

    I love that there is this amazing crescendo going on but, if you just look at the audience, nothing happens

    Несмотря на полное отсутствие музыкального образования, я тоже иногда бываю дирижёром. Когда я слышу Утро Грига, мои руки сами пускаются в пляс. Так что я Вас понимаю.

    Essa peça de Grieg assemelha-se bastante ao crescente Bolero de Ravel. Começa silencioso, vai envolvendo outros instrumentos e termina num surto de notas discordantes e chamativas! Muito interessante!

    You just know the percussion is having the time of their life back there, no matter how old they might be they’re just loving life

    My stepmother tried to get me into classical music, but I'm more ya Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Chili Peppers kind of person. In the Hall of the Mountain King is the only thing that has stuck with me for the last 40 year's. Kind of wish I hadn't thought about that, I feel really old now lol.

    I played this during my orchestra concert, and my anxiety went up along with the music
