Have you ever seen a conductor without an orchestra?

Maestro Scipio is a very special conductor. He is so completely absorbed in his passion for music that his physical exertion at the rostrum is way beyond the average conductor. His dialogue with the orchestra resembles a love affair one moment and a duel the next. When directing his imaginary orchestra, he is overcome by a wave of emotions that carries him far away, out of the concert hall.

The heart of a passionate conductor beats for the music. Not only does he follows the music - he becomes the music, feeling every single tone, making the music come alive for his audience, and reaching into the deepest recesses of the human soul. .
He wields the maestro's baton just like a magician waves his wand. During performances, he may become so carried away that he even forgets the presence of the orchestra. .
Such conductors do exist - and one of them has been so completely possessed by the music that he believes he can do without an orchestra entirely!.
