  • He was a giant, a genius, and not liked as much as that brat Lennie. What a loss to the musical world; Mitropoulos was a far better conductor of Mahler, opera, and contemporary music and one of the greatest conductors who ever lived. It's his live recordings that are better than his studio efforts; I think he needed the audience and the occasion to spark his genius.

  • @michalis6 Lenny was a scumbag plain and simple.He betrayed his former mentor Mitropoulos by announcing to the board of the NY Phil that it was immoral to have a homosexual chief conductor - look who was talking! He got the top job and Mitropoulos died of heart failure deeply humiliated and disgraced in America. Then Lenny - the world star and Mr.America also humiliated his own wife by openly hunting gay whores everywhere. Well,never mind,orchestral musicians loved playing with him.

  • I love the section at 3:35! Truly demonic!!

  • Would that there was more film of this man conducting! What a treasure, a treasure!

  • He is rehearsing without a score because he had a photographic memory. Clearly, one of the most under appreciated conductors of the 20th century.

  • impressionante!tutto a memoria!!!

  • a genius

  • 2 November 1960-2 November 2010

    Half a century after the death of this great conductor :-(
