No prizes for guessing the one with flappy fingers.

    Steven Colbert; Keanu Reeves.
    The photo below is of Chef Boy-Ar-Dee.

  • Ben G. says:

    They forgot to do the one who conducts with a toothpick.

  • LEWES BIRD says:

    They forgot No. 14, Mirga the Yoga Stretcher. No. 12 comes close to it, but no cigar.

  • Esther Cavett says:

    See this – impersonating the great cellists :

    Flappy fingers and a toothpick?
    I wonder who that could be.
    Is no. 12 Georges Prêtre?

  • Alexander Tarak says:

    Re Georges Prêtre: I meant the conductor covering his eyes and waving a nunchaku.
    The last one looked very much like Zubin Mehta.
    Any chance of a translation from the russian?

  • Cyril says:

    7. Toscanini
    10. Alondra de la Parra
    13. Dudamel?

  • Ralph Fisher says:

    This is simply stupid.

  • Anon says:

    OK, so Gergiev was the only one who was super clear to me. And maybe Thielmann. Can we get the answers?

  • Alexander Tarak says:

    Will you be providing the answers?

  • ThrownOutOfTheKremlinForSinging says:

    I nominate BSCCO-2223! (A super-conductor.)

  • Esther Cavett says:

    This would be much more fun if we could have the answers !

  • Alexander Tarak says:

    Two more guesses.
    No 3: Abbado
    No 4: Muti
    (No 5: no brainer.)

    • Shimi says:

      If one of these numbers is actually Muti, I’d say he’s number 3. No. 4 reminds me of Karl Bohm. Cant think of anyone else with his hand in his pocket

  • Esther Cavett says:

    Is #2 Carlos Kleiber ?

  • Kash says:

    3 is Karajan

  • Esther Cavett says:

    Is #9 Rozhdestvensky ?
    Are there official answers somewhere ?

  • James says:

    12. Yuri Siminov?
