He lead the Cleveland Orchestra when I was a kid and although I never saw him conduct, I knew that he was a superstar in Cleveland. An incongruous place for a great orchestra, but Szell put Cleveland in the top five, and despite the city’s demise in the intervening half century, the Cleveland Orchestra remains one of the best in the world, and Szell deserves much credit for establishing that tradition. 20 Reply 1 reply @patriciaazarias5258 @patriciaazarias5258 2 months ago Thank you for compiling and adding this splendid video. For me, the great revelation was Beecham's utterly perfect Mozart. Took me by surprise, so delightful and profound at once. 10 Reply @lawrencejhutchinson @lawrencejhutchinson 3 months ago Just listen to the way Karajan guides the BPO in Beethoven's 5th (compared to the earlier versions shown) - absolutely thrilling! And Bernstein was the master of Shostakovich 5! 7 Reply @virgilioisaaccabreravelazq8842 @virgilioisaaccabreravelazq8842 4 months ago Un gran documento acerca del proceso creativo en una orquesta y el papel que juega el director.

If one does this… many otherwise obscure musical choices become apparent. It is a fascinating experience to clearly hear these differences…. As I suspect the conductors themselves are able to do…, since they have to consider how they want the music to sound 5 Reply @markbrodie2784 @markbrodie2784 4 months ago Best documentary I've ever seen on the great master conductors! Again Bravo Maestro!!!!!!!!! 6 Reply @josephdiluzio6719 @josephdiluzio6719 2 months ago As a listener and a lit/crit prof, I really admire what the great violinist and concertmaster Hugh Bean opines about Klemperer and the great Philadelphia Orchestra's playing with he prefers. He's not reticent or afraid to criticize a obvious Otto Klemperer's deficiencies while extolling the incomparable flexibility of Eugene ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra 2 Reply @beatlessteve1010 @beatlessteve1010 3 months ago I love the anecdote Horowitz told about his debut in America was also Sir Thomas Beechem's debut and he conducted without the score and solo pianist and conductor from the first note were never on the same page, years later in London Beechem came to the concert and made sure he showed Horowitz that this time he had the score! lol 8 Reply 4 replies @josephdiluzio6719 @josephdiluzio6719 2 months ago Eugene Ormandy sorely needs to be represented in any future installment of Art of Conducting. Four breadth of repertoire, conducting technique, uncanny ability to flex to whatever musical composition Frankly he has few peers. When I think of overrated egomaniacal conductors like Leonard Bernstein and George Szell, I can only Lament that the present critical faculté is so poor 5 Reply 2 replies @davidc5191 @davidc5191 4 months ago I love the way Strauss would grimace every now and then at something he doesn't like hearing, while otherwise conducing so laconically, especially as he's conducing at the height of WW2 and the Allied bombing campaign of Germany. 30 Reply @tommccanna7036 @tommccanna7036 4 months ago The interview with Isaac Stern at the end is a great bonus. There always seems to be a twinkle in his eye. I particularly enjoyed his phrase "petulant vituperation." 6 Reply 4 replies @najialhasani @najialhasani 2 months ago Highly analytical, erudite , compassionate and utterly brilliant.. ! Thank you.

There are a lot of famous names here. Some I like, some not so much. I always struggled with Reiner and I find watching him terribly off putting. Glorious sound, amazing precision but somehow soulless. Ditto Karajan. Also, not sorry to see the end of the era of 12 basses in Beethoven. But so interesting. Reply @nellimartorelli1314 @nellimartorelli1314 4 months ago MARAVILLOSO DOCUMENTO !!! GRACIAS 3 EMusik Musik Reply @hsh1950 @hsh1950 2 months ago I had a modest career as an orchestral musician--too much performance anxiety and too little passion and skill at practicing. All that to say, I never would have had the stature to play under any of these giants. However, even if I had, I don't think I would have lasted 5 minutes under Reiner. Just watching Toscanini, I think he would have carried me along to be better than I was capable of. 3 Reply 1 reply @helenepopulos2438 @helenepopulos2438 4 months ago (edited) This video shows Brymer, Menuhin, Stern etc. admire the greatness of all these conductors and describe their fabulous techniques, their communication skills, their genial musicality, etc. It is however amazing to me that when it comes to Karajan, it is his arch enemy, the BPO ex percussonist to whom has been given the right to speak and to utters his hatred ! According to him (and probably those who prepared this video) Karajan was not a conductor, not even an artist but a charlatan, a showman and a commercial !! And if that was not enough, they annex Schwartzkopf's interview after to add some more spice to this! This is utterly ridiculous, although the rest of the video is OK. 7 Reply 3 replies @markbrodie2784 @markbrodie2784 4 months ago Wow all the true greats of the world of conducting! Geniuses all! Bravo!!!! 2 Reply @sammyal-doory5841 @sammyal-doory5841 4 months ago Was Strauss bored, or was he just so efficient and wise in letting these excellent musicians play that he knew he only needed minimal gestures and eye contact to gain maximum effect? 9 Reply 1 reply @canman5060 @canman5060 4 months ago I have the DVD for this presentation. Vitally important reference material for present day young conductors worldwide. 3 Reply @patriciajohnston9569 @patriciajohnston9569 2 months ago Samuel Barber wanted to meet Toscanini. He was told, if you want to meet Toscanini, meet Mrs Toscanani. So, he gathered his courage and went to their front door. Knocked. A man answered. He said, "May I help you?" (those were the days when you could answer your front door). Samuel Barber said, "I'd like to speak to Mrs Toscanni." Arturo said, "She isn't home. Can I help?" Thus began a beautiful friendship 5 Reply @ahdezdf85 @ahdezdf85 5 years ago Mil gracias por el aporte. 3 EMusik Musik Reply @oscarpolo6310 @oscarpolo6310 1 month ago ¿Hay más partes de este documental?

I immediately got very interested. When Leonard Bernstein showed up I lost interest. Bernstein launched an era when conductors became performers and the performance became more about them than either the composer / the composition or the orchestra. 4 Reply 3 replies @fransescrivamoreno4449 @fransescrivamoreno4449 1 month ago Chopin es el.mas grande,como compositor y pianista ,cambio la forma de tocar el piano,Litz vivio mas y le imito ,incluso rscribio una biografia de Chopin que luego retiraron por falsas acusaciones y otras mentiras,era mujeriego,lo que de mayor se afinó, Chopin improvisava Durante horas ,eso el.
