Leonard Bernstein - Brahms Symphony No 1 4th Movement rehearsal

[@Twentythousandlps]

Bernstein defied BOTH Reiner and Koussevitzky and would not use a baton in his earlier years - it made for a different technique. In the fall of 1957 he found himself comfortable with a baton for the first time, which makes this clip (from his Omnibus show about conducting) especially interesting.

4th movement of Brahms 1. Not movement 1 of Brahms 4.

From Karajan's point of view, it is the behavior of the child and the way of pointing out to the orchestra musicians. In fact, when Karajan led BPh on behalf of Furtwängler's death on his first postwar tour of the United States, there was a movement against Karajan's being a Nazi party at the New York performance. Is still a well-known fact, but apart from that, the musicality is astonishing, and Bernstein, who was present, actually felt the intellect that Karajan's symphonic sculpture aesthetics could not achieve. It is the subject of lifelong envy and jealousy. If he knew it later, he knew that Karajan was originally a master of opera conducting rather than a concert conductor, and he was more and more wondering that he was turning it like two wheels in secret. His mental fatigue and confusion have increased.
