I never reached that level in orchestral playing, so I haven't experienced
that type of advanced conducting...  however, I really must emphasize
again...  on the Karajan "music videos", his gestures really look *off*
compared to what the orchestra was playing...  or vice versa...
whatever...  it actually looked *contradictory* to me.
