Question by Picardy Bird: Does Gergiev really conduct with a toothpick sometimes?
A friend told me this, and I’m having difficulty believing it. I also can’t find any evidence of it online. Does anyone have a link to a picture of this? Or a video? Because I’d love to see it.

Gergiev isn’t a conductor; he’s a Russian who tries too hard to show how Russian he is, and who seems to shave with a toothpick.
