[EuroArts 2072188] Karl Böhm in Rehearsal and Performance

[watutman]

ok, well I don't understand German. If what you say is true, then I guess he was patronizing. But what a good end product.

Oh yeah? Name me one conductor who addresses the Wiener Philharmoniker with "Bitte meine Kinder!"....watch the entire rehearsal,it´s on the right in 3 clips! At a certain point he nags about a horn player until he´s told by a loud voice: "He´s playing it for the first time!",and then Böhm answers: "But he can surely count?....or can´t he?-and the orchestra responds with laughter!

Fascinatingly patronising,but those were the good old days!

@callasnuts "Patronising"? Huh? You make no sense.

Karl Böhm still one of the best conductors ever
