He’s a very charismatic conductor. Saw CBSO this week when the programme was Tchaikovsky piano 2 and Holst Planet Suite. Absolutely rocking performance!

i think this might be my favorite version on youtube, good choice of base tempo and excellent use of rubato in just the right places

Perhaps he should conduct at Last Night Of The Proms? Would likely do a brilliant job.

What a humble chap. What happened to the lass that was conducting a year or two back? Fair play maestro Yamada
