   His hair is …
   His hair is probably that long because he’s only 5′4″ tall; or maybe he just likes it! I’ve seen him in videos (years ago) where he’s got short hair and lots of facial hair—a masculine style not afforded those of us born female (generally!). I’m a Carnahan, by the way–thanks for your brief missive.

   Actually I like this music very much.
   But the conductor’s hairstyle is a bit odd.

   It’s so interesting to read the comments of the deaf, who have never actually HEARD music before. Why they don’t go to an another sort of site is beyond me.

    ¿Por qué no mejor …
    ¿Por qué no mejor disfrutar al conductor y a su orquesta escuchando la obra que ejecutan? Eso de buscar a quién imita el director está fuera de lugar. Mejor escuchemos y admiremos la música.

    Se ve la pasión que tiene por la musica que dirige y el contacto con la orquesta; no diria que e suna imitacion, diria que esta en proceso de igualar a Bernstein y superarlo; Dudamel e smuy joven y muy talentoso

    He is emphatic, dramatic, and leads an orchestra like Jean Simmons of Kiss. I find it interesting, however, that the leads in time to the musicians. Bernstein always stayed a half beat ahead, which made his conducting feats even more phenomenal. This young conductor is a great leader, who exudes passion and instills it in his orchestra – which is the essence of music, but I’m not sure that he can be compared to Bernstein. But he’s of a new generation of conductors and is a great ambassador.

    I don’t know of …
    I don’t know of another conductor who embodies the raw emotion of the music he’s leading more than Dudamel. Whether its tenderness or vivacity, or in this case unyielding power, he always allows the audience a better glimpse at what the composer meant. Great video!

    2:24 to about 2:30 …
    2:24 to about 2:30 sounds like the beginning loop from the beginning of Samael’s song, Baphomet’s Throne. I don’t particularly like that kind of music, but it caught my ear.

    Es un gran director, pero una mala imitación del grandísimo maestro Bernstein. Pueden compararlos y verán perfectamente.
