I love bernstein but god damn this orchestra is the pits ! the oboes sound like ancient shawms.... the most tinny/brassy sounding woodwind section i've ever heard. Its a same he didn't work with some of the finer orchestras of his time... like boston or berlin
@hautbois123 I hate being whiney about youtube performances. I Just wish the orchestra was better in order to convey not only bernstein but mahler's hugely deep pathos and feelings! The orchestra has to be fabulous to convey the message mahler had in mind and this doesn't even come close
In the 1970s we looked forward to live television programming of Leonard Bernstein conducting; it was an event. He would also talk about the music being performed, in a way that was very appealing.
