He must have immaculate rehearsal techniques, because the orchestra sounds virtually flawless, but his conducting and emotions are visually painful they are so bad. Needless to say, this orchestra ceases to amaze me, and this is no exception. Bravo Boulez, Bravo Berlin Phil!

Thanks berlin Phils for providing us high quality audio-visual treat!

@BerlinPhil Who is the celesta player here?

[fireasdf1]

@btoboot You're absolutely right. That idea that the conductor must show his emotions visually when he is conducting is just some crap people make up.

@TravisEdward

I always object to the complaints that Boulez "does not show emotions". he indeed does, plus, the orchestra PLAYS the emotions. He is the conductor, not a dancer, and he is executing his craft with the greatest of expertise. the results prove it.

[vsanx]

and celesta is.... where?

[AfroDeezeeYak]

@doctorfuse007 From what I hear: Philly actually managed to get a 'donated loan'.....whatever that means.

I'm not angry, nor does (as a composer) wishing for my music to remain uncompromised, make me an authoritarian.

Glad we can end our little quibble amicably.

[doctorfuse007]

@AfroDeezeeYak And so I must leave you now, and go back to struggling with learning Bartok for tomorrow's rehearsal. Anger is not necessarily a bad thing, but it must grow to something else, or you can get cancer or mental illnesses. I'm hoping you will overcome your angry, authoritarian ways. I wish you good luck, as we share a deep love of Bartok's music!

@AfroDeezeeYak Scotia Fest, 1993, no joke. Crazy program, Miraculous mandarin, la Mer, Sacre.

Classical Music is dying because orchestras all over the West are either suffering cuts or are going bankrupt (Louisiana, PHILADELPHIA - Almost, despite my good friend Yannick continuing to garner young audiences). Perhaps in China it is still growing and flourishing, but definitely not in the West. Here, Hip Hop is the most interesting new music culture to appear and flourish.

@doctorfuse007 HAHAHA I just read your sentiment that Classical music is 'dying'. What makes you say that: because living composers don't write music in the Post Romantic idiom? I'm dying with laughter over here.

[AfroDeezeeYak]

@doctorfuse007 So do you have any real rebuttal? Also lol @ your claiming to have played under Boulez. That is a HILARIOUS joke.
