Great conductors are known to be supremely confident: in their technique and in themselves. You can see the confidence when you watch video clips of giants like Mengelberg, Toscanini, Furtwangler, Kleiber, or Bernstein. Moreover, you sense their confidence when you listen to an audio recording of theirs: they are sure-footed with each and every note in the symphony they are conducting.
