The tempos stay in certain relations each other
("ganzzahlig"), that´s it. Once a conductor has understood
this, he is good. Well, can you describe "clean" colours ?
Colours which you can find in nature ? If you can describe
them, you have to "transpose" that to music. That´s it. Some
have this ability by nature - a very very small minority,
others struggle the whole life to find a way, others will
never experience that phenomenon - but many get excited as
one has to be excited no matter they like the piece, the
performance or the orchestra or the picture or the movie or
the dress or -- or --- or ???? The majority even can be
manipulated easily to be excited. But how does the majority
look inside their hearts ?????
Even if we feel our performance including the conductor off
cours were wonderful, the reviews come out just so-so,
because these eunuchs did not get the message as it was not
theirs. One can live with that situation, but it is getting
worse, while the technical standard improves enormously.

Speaking strictly as an audience member, the most reliable
factor that always seems to separate the good conductors
from the not-so-good is how they use tempo. The good ones
just seem to have the right feel for the tempo and the
general flow of the music, while the not-so-good ones just
don't get the tempo and flow right
I find this very hard to describe. Maybe someone can help
me out here.
