  • That's one heck of a harpist!

  • That is Bud Herseth, Phil Farkas, Arnold Jakobs and Ed Kleinhammer. I don't believe this footage is in any of the VAI releases that I know of, please correct me if wrong.

  • Fritz Reiner, truly one of the greatest of all time.

  • ライナーさんが、くるみ割り人形に見えてきました…かわいらしい­ですよね、どことなく…。

  • @brassbend Clark Brody didn't "recently" retire from the Chicago Symphony; he retired in 1978....

  • 好狂野的一个版本- -

    FYI: That principal oboist is NOT Mariotti - it is Florian Mueller, and yes he did teach at the University of Mich - I studied with him. I also studied with Mariotti who also taught at Mich, but much later. As far I know he (Mariotti) never played in the Chicago Symphony - he was principal in Detroit Symphony when I studied with him in high school. I also studied with DSO's 2nd oboist Ron Odmark. It was great to see Mueller when he was younger.

  • Hey I'm surprised no one has picked up on the repeat he adds at the last few bars which Tchaikovsky didn't actually write. Interesing - Toscannini does exactly the same thing in his recording with the NBC band

  • fritz dracula

  • That explains his unusual technique and unique version of the cadenza.
