a bernstein with beard looked like an ashkenazy. top performance btw. but i guess that bernstein selected the musicians in mars, cause there was no woman in the orchestra.
@hobosapiens the Viena Philarmonic remained many years a ver conservative orchestra and the first woman engaged as a full member of the orchestra was engaged in 1997! Still today, only a very few members are women.
@rjr1967 look at the horns closely! normally the vienna philharmonic only plays viennese horns (piston valves, tighter diapason,...) and in this video there's one horn player with a french horn! and i've never seen that before!
@mortalfrog0815 perhaps because they had to extend the number of horns for this symphony, they couldn't get enough vienna horns for the performance and had to call in those"other" horns! Note the number of basoons, as well!
@AMAC48 i seriously doubt that! i am trombone player in vienna and in vienna it's harder to find a regular french horn player because they all play vienna horn! kind of annoying cause i like french horns much better
Wow!!! That is Bernstein!! I didn't recognize him. Great upload. It's been said that this is one of his least popular symphonies: I never understood why. It's tragic as hell, but it's told in a beautiful, almost story form.
@kanazo I meant his least popular in terms of number of performances. It's undoubtedly performed much less than his 2nd, 5th, or 8th. But, I would say this finale is incredibly powerful; one of my favorite movements in the Mahler repertoire.

Good point....but there might have been a valid reason for them to let an Alexander slip in just like that :)))

@mortalfrog0815 I agree the double horn is way out of place

@Salmontres in my opinion this is his most dramatic and best symphony as a whole...i also don't really see why this one would be unpopular...
