Not one hour and twenty minutes after I sent out a press release about Polish conductor Krzysztof Urbański being appointed as the next music director of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, did my friend Cage send me this:
I particularly like minute 1:41, when Jonathan begins the ever-popular Flashdance jog-in-place technique, utilized with the greatest precision by the world’s greatest maestros.
Krzysztof turned 28 on Sunday, making him the youngest music director in the country. I thought I had that story locked down until I saw our friend Jonathan’s video. I now fear Krzysztof’s reign as youngest MD will be short-lived, so long as Jonathan can get the nose-picking under control (at 2:04).
Wow – complete understanding of the music. Lenny – are you back?
Amanda, that’s the greatest, funniest, most joyful music video I’ve watched in a long time. I’m spreading it around. Thanks!
He’s really nailed the “Furtwangler Shake” (0:51)
Love it when he says “This is my favorite part!” Bravo to his parents!
