I expect great things from Mr. Gilbert. A great musician and a great guy (I met him many years ago). Plus he is interested in contemporary composers. A new era for NYP and for classical music. Go Alan!!!
@bvollm1 its its different for everyone. my dad was in the Texas all state orchestra in 65 and Frederick Fennell conducted prelude to die meistersinger. he remembered him talking to someone at the podium and ask which arrangement it was and he took one look at the score and said, "ok i know that one" and he just went into rehearsing...pretty amazing
@padredemishijos12 One of my conducting teachers once told me "Know your score so well you don't need the score, but never be a fool and walk on stage without one." Now I'm no Gilbert or Dudamel, but I think it's kind of a personal thing. Some conductors use them, some don't :-)
oh man! I gasped when i read he's the new music director, but then I remembered i confused him with Gilbert Kaplan, the non-musician Mahler 2 conductor!
According to Dudamel, Maestro Abreu assigned him to conduct Mahler with the SBYOV. Dudamel studied and studied and filled the score with his notes. On the day of the performance,Dudamel showed Abreu all his notes.Abreu said, very good.On the day of the performance, Abreau took away the Mahler score, and told Gustavo, you don't need a score, you already know it.He was right. Gustavo Dudamel conducted all of Mahler's ten symphonies from memory, either the score in the head or head in the score.
Why does he use a score? Is it not supposed to be memorized? In Venezuela you cannot conduct unless you have memorized the score. I have rarely seen Gustavo Dudamel with a score. The score is in his head, and his eyes in on the musicians in the orchestra.

Enrico DiCecco is STILL in the 1st violins?? Isn't he over 100 years old by now?lol
I have learned to appreciate his beat pattern, he wants the music to be with the stick

How does he conduct so ahead of the orchestra but it sounds amazingly in time???
I'm pretty sure its just the audio being behind
Bravo!!! Alan Gilbert!!!

Different conductors have different preferences. He still knows the score but he uses it to remember stuff from rehearsals.
@winrx Than don't say anything.
TOO MUCH "EXCITEMENT". THAT'S NEW YORK.
It's a real shame that he's the best they could find - but then again, I have never been a big fan of his band either.....
