London Symphony Orchestra - 1967 - Bernstein

[soaringvulture]

I wish he could have lived 200 years, but you can see he lived every moment to its fullest. What joy! What genius! Go Lenny!

[MrPoupard]

Would like to have seen more of this, especially the LSO of 1967. If the camera had swivelled the right way we might very well have seen some interesting musical personalities eg James Galway on principal flute.

Too Stiff ???? What are you talking about jomill78 ? If you spoke about otto Klemperer or worse Arturo Toscanini , you could speak about stiffness!!

Bernstein was one of the greatest rythmic souls in music ever. And the greatest conductor who ever lived period!!

[al1936ful]

@Dionysosable He was the greatst American conductor. But Toscanini was not stiff. He may have stuck to the printed score, but that doesn't make him stiff.

From wich part of Shostakovich simphony No. 5 is this?

[jomill78]

hes still to stiff

[diragusa]

yes it is

[Cavaradossi1981]

@diragusa the guy in the middle, at the contrabasses, from 1:35 to 1:45 looks like Klemperer...really creepy... :///

[churchlandsmuso4life]

are you sure that this is shostakovitch 5? I thought I knew the whole piece and this sounds unfamiliar

[MyMusic0201]

@churchlandsmuso4life

Yes. 3rd movement, somewhat halfway....

[SuperNosfe1994]

Near the end of the 3rd movement.

[britcrit09]

Such a powerful mind.

[darkprose]

Bernstein: surely one of the greatest musical minds of the twentieth century.

[bdrman]

This man has passion for the music, no doubt.

From what documentary is this clip taken? Anyone know?

[boat4812448]

This clip is from The Art of Conducting. I don't know which volume.

[MrCC379]

@boat4812448 It's the first volume.

[MyMusic0201]

@bt10ant

The Art of Conducting, Volume 1 (there are only two volumes, so it wouldn't hurt buying them both :-) )

[furiozara]

Great! Bernstein is MUSIC!!!!
