@anishraja9655 Жыл бұрын
I think I can conduct things like the Planets without a score, it's just so ingrained in my brain, but RITE OF SPRING? Impossible how did he manage? At least the planets goes four-five minutes with the same meter, but Stravinsky changes the meter every bar! And not just ismple things like 4/4 to 2/4 to 5/4, he goes 2/4 to 7/4 to 3/16 to 2/16 to 3/4. It's just wow.

It's music, the most easy thing in the world to remember, no matter how long the piece, so having no score is not that impressive. Bernstein's genius, in my opinion, was not in his conducting, but in explaining what music is and what it does for human beings in the most clear, detailed, and intelligent way I've ever heard.

Unbelievable. This version is quite a bit faster than what was originally scored by Stravinsky, and much heavier. Notably, there are no lilting strings in the Rounds, no gentleness in the transitions, nor is there any slowing or holding back in the final pieces of the Sacrifice. These things are not something that I've seen in almost any other performance. It's amazing how each orchestra manages to conduct the score uniquely while remaining loyal to the original material. And speaking of conducting, this conductor has stolen my heart with the amount of raw energy and emotion he seems to be throwing into his role. His eyes are so expressive, and towards the end he gives a look that can't exactly be described, but reminds me of a runner watching the finish line come closer and closer. Pride, fear, and excitement all at once. He moves with the music, sways with it, leaps with it at times. He looks as if he is slowly becoming overtaken by the score, and is only snapped out of it by the applause from the audience. He doesn't even have use for sheet music, which for something as complex as Stravinsky, is just extraordinary. I can't fully describe the level of thought, joy, and inspiration that this brings to my mind.

This is the most exciting music ever. 61 years ago, as a 12 year old, on a school visit to a Leeds Town Hall concert, being asked to leave the auditorium because I was so enthralled with this music that I couldn't keep still. I'm still the same every time I hear Rite. Bernstein's interpretation is one of the best I've heard, as he stays faithful to the beat and rhythm which some conductors don't.

Not only was Bernstein the quintessential conductor of the 20th century, but he could transmit the emotions of any great work of music from his soul through his conducting with all of his body and expressions in a way that for the performer was entirely safe and comforting, no matter how difficult or unusual it might seem. The respect this fosters in the performers for their leader nurtures absolute resonance of his musical vision and intuition to the audience listening. It is palpable and unmistakeable. And all the more remarkable is that "Lenny" did it from total memory, no score in front of him and nary a missed beat or note for nearly 40 minutes! Notice at the applause when he returns to the podium and asks the orchestra members to rise for their recognition - they refuse! Stay seated! And refuse again! Their respect for him was so extreme in that moment they absolutely wanted the kudos to be his and his alone even if only for the fact he got them all there safely to the end not to mention the music he shared. Eventually they stand to take their share of the praise from the audience, but rarely have I seen such absolute cherishing respect for a leader in battle as this; they were literally humbled by Leonard's kindly yet staunch leadership and musicianship. Stravinsky's music shines in this video beyond the decades. What a treasure they both were to all of us.

As an oboist that is about to play this piece with an orchestra next month, I can tell you that Bernstein's qualities that would be most appreciated by the orchestra are the clarity of his baton work, the perfectly timed cues to various members with hand, head, eyes. The number one thing for the conductor is to keep this wild beast TOGETHER! The orchestra members have the added burden of actually producing the notes, besides keeping track of tempo and meter changes. Most orchestral musicians of this caliber already have the passion and artistry that brings a piece of music to life. They just need a solid leader on the podium, and Bernstein provides.

Stravinsky's critique reviewed recordings by Robert Craft, Pierre Boulez and Herbert von Karajan, not the one by Bernstein. All three were found wanting. Likely Craft himself wrote at least some of the critique.

One of the greatest pieces of conducting that I have ever seen, or am ever likely to see. The reaction from the orchestra is heartfelt. They knew they were an integral part of something very special.

10:38 Leonard Bernstein. The only person that's ever gotten that to sound so amazing. Most people have a very short transition on the notes, while this and the 1958 NYP performances keep it perfect in length. This is my opinion, but if you could defer me to another performance with trombones like this, please do.

Spieler Subliminals I totally agree. I love Bernstein’s conducting of this composition. He nailed it. I first heard Rite of Spring in Fantasia. I never liked Stowkoski’s version once I heard other performances.

@garryhumphreys30548 жыл бұрын
Vintage London Symphony Orchestra (broadcast on BBC1, 22 January 1967?), much augmented, at the Fairfield Halls Croydon. Very musical, as well as exciting, performance, where Bernstein really shapes the music and shows the instrumental structure. It's not just very loud and very fast as in so many performances. If you watch what he does, and listen to what's happening as he does it, then the score is really illuminated. Probably the result of not having the printed music between conductor and orchestra. In the orchestra: Leader John Georgiadis; 2nd violins led by Neville Marriner; Stuart Knussen (father of Ollie), principal double bass; Gervase de Peyer, clarinet; Barry Tuckwell in the horns, Roger Lord, oboe and Michael Winfield, cor anglais; Kurt Goedicke and Ray Northcott, timpani; Jimmie Holland, principal percussion. A virtuoso team of superb players.

I remember the original transmission but was able to check the dates via the BBC Genome site, which effectively indexes the Radio Times historically. As for members of the orchestra, I am able to identify them through personal knowledge and attendance at concerts for 55+ years. As for the comments on conducting: I'm a former professional singer (now freelance writer) who also studied conducting, and an inveterate 'conductor watcher'! Hope this answers your questions.

When I a music major/minor in the mid 1970s, Stravinsky was considered "old hat" and everybody loved Schoenberg, Webern, Berg and Boulez. You weren't anything unless you were a serialist. Stravinsky's serial music was frowned upon. As Stravinsky said: "The Rite has endured a half-century of destructive popularity while Schoenberg has spent that same time as unknown". He was right. And today, serial music is declasse', except that Stravinsky's serial music is now taken its rightful place among his great works, and the "Russian" and neo-classical Stravinsky is as enduring as ever. Apart from Einstein, the 20th century produced no greater genius than Stravinsky

I believe Bernstein was the greatest conductor and musicologist of all time. He was devoted to the composer's concept of proper interpretation and exposition of a piece of music. Listen to the operas he conducted such as the opening march in Carmen correctly using the right tempo for this 4/4 march.

Not even two minutes into the piece and I’m awestruck by how masterful Mr. Bernstein is. Also, he was so humbled by the applause from the audience but was trying to recognize the orchestra by getting them to stand.
