Allora, il grande vecchio ha detto che il direttore non deve inventarsi niente, nessuno effetto stupefacente, nessuna ammiccante magia, solo raggiungere (achieve). Quindi io credo a quello che suona e credo meno agli altri. Pure per me rimane stupefacente come riesca a fare cantare i singoli strumenti e con quale nitidezza. Nitidezza da CD disk, da incisione digitale per raccontarla da profano. Sono forse gli ultimi anni di vita. Tutto è incredibile. Sembra un Giuseppe Verdi uscito fuori dai suoi anni e venuto a dirigere un' orchestra moderna, dei nostri giorni, per farci capire come funzionano veramente le cose.

A conductor is someone who has the rare gift of understanding complex music. Maestro Toscanini makes sure that this is visible to the audience in every performance.
@johnschlesinger20093 жыл бұрын
A fantastic performance. How did Toscanini achieve such immediacy? Perhaps one clue is that he doesn't "conduct in advance": every cue is very shortly before the desired entry. One can see how closely the orchestra follows him - their eyes constantly move from the score to the conductor. And I have no doubt that he commanded immense respect - he conducted a vast repertoire over a huge career totally from memory, from his very first conducting, as a last minute standin. A genius, definitely.

@@jhb134Thanks for your observations. George Szell held Toscannini in high regard, and Szell made the Cleveland into a great orchestra. His "Jupiter" has been never been out of the catalogue, together with the G minor and E flat Mozart symphonies. His Tschiakowsky 4th is possibly the best ever. Szell was offered the NBC after Toscannini's death, but declined, saying that he belonged in Cleveland. The orchestra was disbanded after Toscannini's death.

Especially to the German Traditionalist, this perform will be new and shock. It is modern contemporary Wagner which will be with us very long time. Maestro is still wonderful in 21c. So powerful and enormous perform! Compare Karajan's last era's performance! He is become old man. Looks like very tired. But 80 year old Toscanini's batton is still young and energitic!

Alas, classical music is 99% dead in the USA. Symphony orchestras are barely scraping-by, while making payroll & benefits cuts for the players (never the managers!). The current head of the Metropolitan Opera remarked recently, "If there's no audience, then what's the point?" What's needed desperately for classical music is about a dozen **BRAND-NEW COMPOSERS** (not just the goofy Philip Glass) who can revolutionize its focus. For example, no real effort has *EVER* been made to fuse classical music with 1950's Rock 'N Roll, or Caribbean jazz. The film, "Mr. Holland's Opus" comes to mind: www.imdb.com/title/tt0113862/

But I do clearly remember the images of this extraordinary man and the power of the performances, even at so young an age. I hope that these performances remain available for all time.

This brilliant interpretation illustrates the conductor's importance. Toscanini has complete control. There is much variation in the loudness/softness of the volume. (Ok I'm not a musician, don't know the terminology). Toscanini controls it perfectly, especially near the beginning, which Solti and Abbado play without variation in the volume. Also, there is a woodwind solo near the middle.played by the clarinet in the Solti and Abbado performances. Toscanini uses the oboe. I love this performance. I'm an old Brahms fan, but I think Toscanini and Wagner shine brilliantly here.n
@bobthompson5514 жыл бұрын

Beh, si tratta di un autentico genio dell'intera storia della direzione d'orchestra e, in senso lato, dell'interpretazione musicale. Le emozioni, gli scuotimenti interiori, l'estasi che riesce a suscitare Arturo Toscanini in ogni sua esecuzione sono riscontrabili in pochissimi altri interpeti della storia della musica (Wilhelm Furtwangler in primis). E' un po' vergognoso - come, d'altronde molte altre cose italiane - che l'Italia di oggi non riesca a commemorarlo degnamente, neanche nel 150° della nascita, caduto nel 2017. Ah.......beh, dimenticavo: per i nostri ridicoli e mafiosi burocrati un 150° non è cadenza contemplata per le commemorazioni. Non parliamo poi delle scuole e dei conservatori, scuole e conservatori che dovrebbero tramandare la sua figura splendida di uomo e di artista costantemente. Ah già, che sbadato..........: dobbiamo in fretta cancellare tutta la nostra identità etnico-culturale, ce lo chiede il neoliberismo sovranazionale criminale.
