This is really a legendary speech of one great artist. The eloquence, the clarity of the words... So critic and so respectful. Wise man

I hope that someday a conductor finds it necessary to explain collaboration with me.

You have to love Lenny B

No counterpoint in Stravinsky? Middle movement of symphony of psalms comes immediately to mind. As for the photo when did these three lions come together?

Despite his faults, Bernstein proves here his professional, even diplomatic side.
How we need more like him today!

It was light hearted and humourous! Where's your sense of humour?
-
He was very open minded, which is always the way forward

@tlagudtjq That would explain the striking resemblence then

I would like to dedicate my listening of this speech to critics who not only refuse to enjoy what is good about a performance, but who insist that those who create and enjoy such an interpretation are somehow offending the work itself. I hope, though I'm sure vainly, that seeing one great artist deferring to another great artist might humble such critics --or if not humble, at least they might lighten up.

@AbuseDaForce Yes, He is Stravinsky.

Bernstein was a great conductor, but for him to comment at length at someone else's interpertation is hypocrisy. Some of his interpertations are some of the most disputed and most outrageous.
i heard his response in a new documentary, he was laughing in the back. ill have to get footage of that from the film i watch. but they really enjoyed being together.
