A video interview with Alan Gilbert, music directory of the NY Phil, includes some fascinating motion-capture computer graphics of his hand motions. Would that we could all have this kind of video taken for analyzing our own gesture!
Can't embed the video. It's a sidebar to a general article about what a conductor does.

The article is worth reading but the video really says it all. Thanks for posting this, I wouldn’t have seen it otherwise. The notion of having your ears open and really hearing the music is spot on. What a difference it makes for a conductor at any level.
