What does a conductor do, exactly? Ask Marc Taddei, one of New Zealand's busiest and most versatile.
He comes bounding onto the stage, smiling broadly. Grasping the baton with both hands, he takes a single low bow, then turns to face the orchestra. Pause. Then up go the arms, always at the exact speed that indicates both to the players and audience something of the quality of sound that will follow. You know that you're in good hands because there's a professional at work.
