Hello Wendell, Lawrence said it streight:
The conductor-pigs do better concerts than those who just
like to please the orchestra with their sweet talk.
Personally, I prefer the bad people in front, as they keep
all high alert prepared, so to make best quality music.
Never had any problems with those, discussions when
necessary when there was reason. These beasts understood
it, when they knew your potentials when you offered them
high quality yourself. Thngs hey dont like: hiding behind
the music stand, mediocre players, not enough character to
bounce back to them. By the way, I also saw players crying
when being corrected by Karl Boehm (he just wanted the solo
flute play the Carmen solo another time a bit filled with
more life after he had just played it twice !)
And this was not amateur but high grade professional level
..
Anyway, it seems nonsense to me, if a conductor of an
amateur orchestra (even he himself a nobody in the
business) starts yelling and bawling at his players or the
orchestra as a whole It just demonstrates his impotence

I used to help out with a local amateur orchestra, the
conductor of
which was notorious - he used to yell and bawl at his
players and more
than once I saw grown men and women crying behind their
stands. The
concerts were terrific!
Eventually, the management took him to one side and told
him to mend
his ways and treat his players more gently. He did and
everyone was
much happier.
The concerts sounded like any other amatuer orchestral
concert.
Cheers,
Lawrence
And your point is what?
