I have been following the BBC series Maestro and I have to say that there have been many times where I have literally cringed in my chair.
David Soul’s conducting of the exquisite Barber’s Adagio for Strings is one of them; Jane Asher wiggling her shoulder’s and bum rather than actually conducting is another (oh boy, was she baaaadd).

As an orchestral musician, and as a string player, can I pleeeaase make just one request…?
Could those professional mentors please teach their famous(?) charges the difference between an upbeat and a downbeat…? it is the one thing I have noticed which is missing. And believe me, it makes all the difference.
