Fantastic documentary. I remember viewing it in its entirety.

Check out his "Missa Brevis" and you'll change your mind then smarty-pants
-
Oh yeah- I see what you mean. Yep- absolutely correct :-)
Wow- that "Missa Brevis" is amazing
-
Yeah, it's great! But not a 'drama' if you see what I mean : - ). I has referring to his operas.
-
You forgot to mention his amazing "Missa Brevis"

@rmutt4 he was pretty out for his times and his profession. Conductors HAD to be the most macho of men if they didn't want to be ridiculed by musicians, who at that time were mostly (and sadly) male. Mitropoulos was the only one semiout at the time, but then he was the epitomy of masculinity in person (apparently). Remember Bernstein left his wife and went to live with his lover in the seventies. That is to be pretty out for the times and the attention he drew. Just my opinion

Genius. Greatest dramatic composer of the 20th Century without a doubt. Peter Grimes, Rape of Lucretia, Albert Herring, The Little Sweep, Turn of the Screw, Noye's Fludde. Genius.
