Seiji Ozawa in conversation with Fergus McWilliam

[SirGlennGould]

Maestro Ozawa is getting older, but his spirit is forever young ! XD

[ctfamily40]

Seiji's earnestness, intellect and candid lack of pretense are plain in this video....what a shame his relationship with Boston deteriorated to the point at which he was derided so stridently by musicians and critics alike. Ozawa is truly an amazing musician....I hope more Americans (like myself) will begin to appreciate him for the big heart and formidable intellect he possesses.

It seems to me that present Ozawa looks like Karajan.

[Cassandraberry]

Ah Seiji...Toronto and Ontario Place, 1972...a girl with a copper chain. After 40 years I think am still in love with you!!!

[sihaya2]

Brilliant conductor. I think his best performance is The Nutcracker (Tchaikovsky).

[cloudinas]

I think Seiji Ozawa was one from a million Japanese who can speak english...

[leontud]

hes such a humble person.

[TheRedstar95]

I have to say this is kind of boring. But this guy in the white shirt is my uncle. So i was bored and searched his name!

[irutheniucam]

I don't like his performance very much.

DG's recordings of Prokofiev Symphonies I wanted to listen to was, in fact, not Ozawa but Abbado.

He likes Rossian Music; must have been shown more wondurful playings.

Ozawa+Prokofiev=FTW

[Susannekaffeekanne]

:) Wie herrlich! Beide kommen einfach unglaublich sympatisch rüber... Hörner halt ;) Aber Seiji Ozawa auch.

Aber die berliner Hörner sind schon klasse!

"Singen ist was für Choleriker" =D

[P0dDels]

Jetzt weiß ich nicht, was ich singen soll...ach ja was du singst, ist immer toll ;)

Großartig!
