Why Dudamel is different from other conductors?

Gustavo Dudamel is one of the most popular conductors in this century. Even if you haven’t heard his name before, I’m sure you have seen his face and hair on the internet. Why he looks so different from other conductors? Is it because of his hair style?

In my opinion, his conducting style is unique from the others. Since he is very creative, he tries to use his interpretations to conduct the classical pieces. He expresses his own characters through conducting the orchestra. Orchestral players also respond well to his efficient rehearsing methods and clear conception of music’s shape and tempo. Therefore he brings a fresh feeling to the audience and is successful to grab the world’s attention, even the people other than musicians or those who don’t enjoy classical music that much. His clear and exaggerated conducting gestures bring out an especially powerful atmosphere, and I’m sure the audience can feel his craziness and excitement through his conducting. It’s fun to watch his own interpretation of different symphonies.
