One of my favorite composers!!! "I don't know about honor".....he said! WOW! So humble! What a tremendous GIANT! 103 years old and his mind is crystal clear!
It was so joyfull to see him that lucid at his 103!
What a marvellous piece of filming! Carter gives hope and inspiration to all who fear old age
Wonderful interaction between Carter and Weilerstein - we are very fortunate to have this documented.
Very touching: two wonderful musicians doing what musicians do, fussing over the details while having a laugh. The joke on frees/freeze makes me think Carter must have been as addicted to bad puns as I am.
And encouraging to all composers.
A charming vignette of a great composer and a performer, loved it.
The ornamentation that Carter refers to in a Japanese garden is called a shishiodoshi. It is made from a length of bamboo which is fed usually by a small stream which then filled by the water, and after reaching a tipping point, evacuates the water into a stone bowl. The clacking sound that results is there to startle birds, or animals (often deer, or boar) that may have entered the garden/vegetable patch to feed on the vegetation.
Keith Eldershaw thank you for explaining that!
Amazing video, this has made my day. If I'm half as sharp at 103 (like I'll live that long..) I'll be happy. This must go down as one of the highlights of her career and life, to go over the piece with the man himself...he died later that year, RIP Elliott Carter and thanks for the music, artistry and creativity.
What a charming man. He will be missed.
This is historic. Two giants of music.
DEVOTED to music,this is what it is like. Learned about Elliot Carter in 20 century music class today and such a joy to see this interview
a great artist , a genious amazing , i remember forever his 5 string quatuor , 5 five diamonds for the eternity
What an honor it must be to work so closely with a composer in fully realizing a piece. Mr. Carter was a prolific treasure.
What a nice guy, rest his soul!
The Immortal. May he rest in peace.
What a great soul he was.
What an incredible video. So inspiring to watch their interaction.
wonderful! to observe his creative process is an honor. may you be at peace Elliot.
Man Carter still has his mind 100% amazing...
he was understanding and exacting till the very end. im mazed that anyone can make sense of his complex and difficult scores. I wish i could have met him. amazing american!

Sharp as a tack right up to the very end. He's a personal hero of mine.
Really nice man. And so lucid and there at his grand age, mastering his art.
un immense génie , un des plus grands compositeurs du 20 EME siècle , j espère qu on parlera de lui comme on parle de beethoven , trop méconnu comme beaucoup de contemporains , carter un homme simple , fascinant , j ai découvert sa musique il y a une dizaine d années et il me reste tant à découvrir de carter , merci pour ce joli partage ,, que serait la vie sans l art , impossible , inconcevable ,
thanks for your works herr carter RIP in peace , a very music master ,
The cello sonata is one of the most beautiful pieces ever written
cannot wait anymore for this CF
I opened a door for Carter on his 85th birthday.
love his work!!
this guy is 103 here??? Awesome.
WONDERFUL!!!!!
This is extraordinary!
As a person, Carter was one of the most cheerful you can imagine, here as elsewhere.
the cellist alisa weilerstein is amazing whit the maestro carter , and the music is so mysterious like the chamber music of elliot carter
What a brilliant mind!
I wish I liked Carter's music, because I like the man, as he comes across here--and am in awe of his lucidity, positive energy, and ability to make music, or at least make it better, at age 103. The bits heard here, though, make me wonder if I might like this cello concerto. I've heard that in the recording in which this features, Wallerstein's performance of the Elgar is superb.
+Richard Salisbury
If the atonality and complexity of much of Carter's works aren't your cup of tea, then you should try some of his early neoclassical works, such as the Holiday Overture and the Symphony no. 1, I had no idea that Carter ever wrote music like that, until now.
+TheBrawlMaster Thanks!
+DR Halll Thanks!
Richard Salisbury I think this IS a good piece to begin with in loving Carter. Her recording is very beautiful. And the Japanese inspiration led to some learner textures for Carter.
@@GenericGoogleAccount And written a little later, lots of fun, but not forbidding: the Sonata for Flute, Oboe, Cello and Harpsichord. Not traditionally tonal, but gently spicy, clever and catchy. Witty.
beauty beauty beauty
Incredebile, how old he became. And how many pieces of music he created in an age normal persons never reach. Awesome.
R.I.P.
Yes, Maestro Carter was creating beautiful music right up to the end. In fact his compositions became even more robust and youthful as he got older. May that dear, wonderful, and brilliant man rest in peace.
he is such a badass
Grande.
Addio Maestro!
Really joyful to watch, but it makes me feel so challenged.
The Japnese stick Carter references is called a "sozu." I saw one when I was in Kyoto. It may be seen working here at youtube: ruclips.net/video/qPj89-XUMYU/видео.html
Alica in wonderland
Máster...
It's like watching Beethoven.
if only Brahms had lived this long
Yeah, but then he would have had an opinion on the rise of Hitler, and I'm not so sure I'd want to see that...
The last truly great American composer.
@Timothy Costorf Nope
les quatuors de carter sont divins , ses oeuvres pour violoncelles si étranges , attirantes , d une beauté ineffable ,,
not a fan of modern music because these guys can't write beautiful tunes/melodies, but Carter seemed like a great guy.
gee, i wonder if his concerto will reach the hit parade?
QUIT FACEBOOK. Alisa does dress well.
That girl is intensely freekish!!
Can you imagine being married to that, wow, NOT GOOD!
You're broken.
