[@leonardobandini6298]

Cosa è un grande direttore ? Colui che è al servizio dell'orchestra, tutt'uno con essa, mai protagonista con gestualità esagerata, mai in evidenza per sé stesso. Puntuale sull'attacco di ogni sezione lascia un piccolo spazio all' emozione personale. Grandioso Bernstein.

This is one of my Beethoven favorites.....such a classic work by Beethoven and well played by the orchestra and lead by Bernstein. Just listen to the power and majesty of his work.

[@66zebulon]

The background and development of this overture..........attempted previously not once, but twice, with goodness knows how much self-doubt and ambiguity its legendary writer went through.......and the progression from the church mouse to the lion at the beginning....together with Bernstein's masterful leadership, make it a classical music must-see. Much appreciation for making this a video experience as well, and to the classical music gods for bringing Bernstein and Ludwig together....they're likely going on endlessly somewhere, about all the calculations and interpretations taken and missed

Hubiera dado un año de mi vida por haber podido verle dirigir en persona. Algunos críticos de su época no estaban de acuerdo con su forma de dirigir pero verle al frente de una orquesta es algo que me da vida, su complicidad con los maestros, ver como vive la obra que dirige y ver como termina de dirigir es algo único. Hay vídeo en You Tube, el 4º movimiento de la Sinfonía 88 de Haydn que lo dice casi todo de este Gran Director. !Gracias Lenny¡

[@zackfisher2803]

“Music should strike fire from the heart of man and bring tears from the eyes of woman.” I’m a guy (in spite of my profile photo) and this does both to me. I feel most of Beethoven’s work should do both to anyone, or there’s just something they don’t get. I don’t know what I would do without Beethoven’s music. I don’t know why the world has done to music what it has when we have always had this. You can keep your “beats” and your auto tune. I’ll take this any day. Music. Fire. Tears. Beethoven.

[@Chris-um3se]

Brilliant message

[@eduardoguerraavila8329]

No other composer in this universe reaches the level of deepness, logical continuity and wise use of the musical resources than Beethoven. He is not only the greatest composer ever, but the most outstanding artist that mankind has produced ever.

[@jimsymons2178]

Well said, Sr. Guerra!

[@phillipecook3227]

One of the three giants of music. Just imagine if Mozart had lived for another 30 years. He would still only have been 64 years old ... and he and Beethoven would have stood on each other's toes.

[@DaviSilva-oc7iv]

@@phillipecook3227 yeah, when I listen the requiem I imagine if he had lived longer, I mean Beethoven composed his fifth symphony when he was 38, Mozart had made many great works until 34 and the only great symphony of Beethoven he had until that age was his Eroica Symphony. Probably Mozart would have overshadowed Beethoven. It's very sad that he didn't live to write Magic Flute 2, Faust from Goethe or some work from Shakespeare as he would have. I just imagine something more intricate, more breathtaking, more beautiful, better than his Requiem than his last symphonies or his last operas, maybe one of the most tragic moments of classical music was the early death of Mozart.

[@phillipecook3227]

@@DaviSilva-oc7iv Absolutely. You know the first time I heard the overture to Don Giovanni with an innocent ear I actually assumed it was early Beethoven? As you say the unwritten works of Mozart are probably the greatest tragedy in classical music. Sparks would've flown between him and Beethoven also.

[@georgehahn2979]

I totally agree. Wagner said of Beethoven: "He was a Titan wrestling with the Gods."

One of the great music compositions by Beethoven.....much feeling and passion in this music.

[@janineboguslawski535]

I played this in memory of my best friend Lenore.❤

[@henryrusch9475]

Without a doubt, the deepest, most complete in feeling but also faithfulness to the score, with an overarching understanding of the meaning of the opera (oppression and liberation) as well as the structure of the overture, among the many interpretations I have heard, including some of the greatest conductors, often in concert, during the past 60 years. Thank you very much for making this available.

'Leonore,' revived by Bernstein igniting a terrific melodic resonance sound of harmony and beauty. Exquisitely joyful...

[@noelwilde]

He's the only conductor I forgive the histrionics because he is in absolute control of the orchestra and is so precise. A pure genius and such a shame he didn't live longer.

[@elizabeththomson7807]

To me , he didn't conduct so much as beome one with the orchestra. Always seemed to go to a faraway place, often you could see him at the end of a piece coming back into himself. Such a huge loss but what a legacy.

[@noelwilde]

I agree completely with you Elizabeth. I loved everything he did. A great loss.

[@musicaled4016]

Bernstein's baton is an instrument of, and with, the orchestra.

[@EliezerEisenberg]

Ever see him conduct the end of Haydn #88? He conducts music like copper conducts electricity - it flows through him.

[@paullewis2413]

@Noel Wilde. Yes his style is overtly flamboyant but his musicianship is beyond reproach. Blows the pathetic so called period band performances into the weeds!

[@gregoryhigby7363]

Few conductors could squeeze out better dynamics from an orchestra than Bernstein. Just notice how perfectly they play under the flute solo. I always thought he tended to rush finales a bit but in this case it is spot on.

I am glad that Beethoven took some time to 'find' his right overture for Fidelio. In the process, we have gained three extra masterpieces.

[@annalatter7098]

i have all 3 and the 3rd is the best .

[@fhebbert]

The reason Beethoven didn't use this one is because it would have completely overshadowed the first Act. L no. 3 is now traditionally played with curtain down during a set change in the last act, which nothing in this whole wide world can dominate.

[@TimothyForbesXXI]

Very cool concert!!! I like seeing Bernstein with a beard!!!

[@efrainbacaesquivel1852]

Berntein, el más beethoveniano qué Beethoven en la conducción de las obras del genio de Bon. Gracias por éstos maravillosos legados.

[@kevinhutcheson1854]

This, in my humble option, is the best of all the overtures that Beethoven wrote for Fidelio.

[@kh23797]

A fascinating and valuable historical document of one of my favourite overtures. Bernstein doesn't faff with a score - every note is filed in his head. I wish there were another copy of this concert with a cleaner sound recording. Crescendos distort and tutti sections are pretty muddy, likely down to tape losses in storage. Still, it was great to se the maestro again.

[@GardenerTobak]

I love the way he conducts 14:25 to 14:38, especially the syncopation. I love the gestures to the violins on the accents on 14:35-36. What a master. I didn't even recognize this as Bernstein until I read the description. With the beard, it doesn't look like him at all. In fact, at first I thought it was a misprint. Then I looked more closely at the conducting style, the energy, the finesse, the absolute perfection and detail... and it's DEFINITELY the master. Leonard Bernstein, rest in peace, we miss you.

[@phillipecook3227]

This is the most handsome Ive seen Bernstein. He suits the beard!

[@gpwerner]

This is one of those rare Beethoven masterpieces in which I wonder, man, why did it take him six minutes to get to the exciting part? But then the last three minutes are so sublime. Oh, Ludwig, I can never stay bored at you.

[@Musicboy801]

I don't think the first six minutes are unexciting at all. They serve as a beautiful introduction to what comes next. The orchestration, the modulations, the melodies... An example of a masterful introduction.

[@shirleyrombough8173]

Prof. George Werner - Actually the minutes Beethoven takes to get to the "exciting parts" are not wasted. Those extended lines are sublime and full meaningful. Having the contrasts adds so much to the world Beethoven is conveying to us. This piece, along with his 6th symphony are immortal and are two of my favorite compositions. And Maestro Bernstein's conducting is magical.

[@shirleyrombough8173]

I forgot the comma after "meaningful." I hate that. It destroys the meaning I was trying to convey. Maybe I should just do away with all commas.

For viewers of the Maestro movie (or anyone), this is the true showpiece of Bernstein's art of conducting. This flamboyant, implicitly gay, American Maestro doesn't really match with the conservative German audience, or the all-male orchestra, but they are all defenseless against his, and Beethoven's, inspiration.

La corporalidad de los gestos marca la esencia de cada director, y su comunicación con la orquesta es diferente, no existen en el mundo dos directores iguales entre sí, y no se pueden catalogar entre buenos y malos, cada uno entrega lo mejor de sí para transmitirle a los músicos toda la expresividad de sus respectivos pasajes en las partituras. Y Leonard Bernstein era moderado cuando debía serlo, e impetuoso cuando la composición le requería sacar de las orquestas que dirigía toda la impetuosidad y maestría de sus músicos.
