Many Thanks for posing this truly excellent performance - and although the filming technique is somewhat unconventional, it does not spoil what I honestly believe is the BEST overture EVER written - especially the thrilling finale!
Ludwig, you are, sadly missed - but your music will live forever
Why does it seem that musical genius and weird hairdos almost always seem to go together? (Great upload by the way, including the closeups of Kubelik and his do!)
I don't agree with "udayanchandra" who found that the film was "marred by poor cinematography..." . In fact, I found very pleasing to watch it and liked this manner of filming. I liked too the moment when the camera focuses on the hands of the director. Fortunately we live in a world where everybody can express themself freely and can do the films that he feels he like to do.
It is a pity how the early video recordings of so many of these wonderful orchestra's here performing at their peak in the world's best concert halls, was marred by poor cinematography where the camera obsessively focuses on the conductor & that to zoom's in on his face at all the climactic moments of the piece. This is where we should see the panoramic view of the Concertgebouw on stage, with the hall fully lit up, to accentuate the feeling of grandeur of this monumental piece of music.
