Best 100 conductor releases

In music, a conductor is the person who leads and directs an orchestra, chorus, opera company, ballet, or other musical group in the performance and interpretation of ensemble works. At the most fundamental level, a conductor stresses the musical pulse so that all performers can follow the same metrical rhythm. The conductor uses their hands, arms, and sometimes a baton to guide the tempo, signal the start of new bars, and indicate when different parts should enter, all while interpreting the music’s phrasing, dynamic level, and other aspects to create a cohesive performance.
