  • Always interesting to see and hear a conductor rehearsing a popular piece, though from what I heard I'm not crazy about his interpretation of these sections.

  • @Torowe1 The "shopping list" of instructions is not uncommon for genius conductors. Zubin Mehta also often can produce a shopping list of changes all at once and on the spot. These guys have amazing hearing and feeling for the music.

  • q tal csm

  • @Torowe1 It could be the New York Philharmonic, but it could also be an orchestra Bernstein frequently conducted in those days - the Symphony of the Air - formerly Toscanini's NBC Symphony Orchestra. It looks like it was filmed in a studio. Unlike the great Italian titan, Bernstein seems to stop the orchestra every few seconds, which would have engraged him. Most of the things he asks for he should have been able to get from his conducting anyway.

  • @Torowe1 New York Phil., I would assume.

  • Qué desgracia no saber inglés !!!

  • Anyone know which orchestra this is ?? I am guessing c.1958 ??

    Also anyone suspect that this "rehearsal" is somewhat contrived for the cameras ?? The list of instructions at the C major recap seems like it was, possibly, already planned and the orchestra knew what he was going to do. Just a hunch ..... And why suddenly jump to the very end of the mvt, piu allegro, for the chorale ??

    Anyway .... he is pure genius - wish we could see the rest of the rehearsal ..... !!

  • Wonderful, Brahms kicked butt ha!

  • i love the wat he starts off with the stomping of his feet ...cool!

  • I agree .His later VPO recordings ( with the exception of the 2nd Mahler cycle shared with the NYPO, Concertgebouw ) had some really strange tempi, though strangely enough the fillers ( tragic overture etc ) have the drive and urgency displayed here.
