omg, where’s my pea-shooter?
People who play under this guy LOVE him. Also, I enjoyed the video and loved what he did with the 2nd mvt. I dunno, I don’t think this is scary.
Well, if you’ve looked at enough conductors, you take your entertainment where you find it – and the artistic stature of the conductor is no deterrent to musician ridicule!

I would seriously prefer him as a conductor! He is awesome! I play the french horn in an English private orchestra, and our conductor sucks! 😛
