"We need this UUUUGGHHH"
Well, that's some high-tier musical lingo right there.
Once a conductor was rehearsing with an orchestra.
"In the next movement, I'd like trombones to play like the sun slowly setting after a long day"
*trombones had no idea*
"OK, then let me rephrase like this: play like little fairies dancing on a lake"
*trombones still had no idea*
"OK, be the breeze that glides through a forest, and touches some leaves very ligtly"
*trombones still had no idea*
"Oh, come on guys, DON'T PLAY FORTE!"
*trombones suddenly understood*
Considering he conducted orchestras of many nationalities, I'd say primitive vocalizations went a long way.
@@Dabaka93 People need to remember to explain things so that a kid can understand to us low brass players.
This is a primal sound. It’s not Mozart. You have to think back to music that caused a near-riot in the theatre when the ballet was first performed. It was like a musical assault.
No matter what anyone says about Bernstein, I personally think he was a very soft inside and brash outside kinda guy. He cared a lot about his musicians. Sometimes in music tough love is needed to help them grow. That’s where some people will call him an asshole or insensitive… just look at this interaction with the solo bassoonist! “We all love you”
Rest in peace Mr.Bernstein. You were and remain one of the greats!
People without understanding suggest the conductor just waves their arms and the orchestra plays. Bernstein shows how a conductor transmits how the performer should be thinking as well as playing during the playing of the work. I just love it. Great in-sight. Brilliant man. Fabulous music.
All music educators can learn a great deal from watching this maestro work.
Educators....yeah.....or working to your death forever.....? Gee......
I love when he said that coraggio with such a good pronunciation
sex, reproduction, and the smells from out there. very good.
Students today have such a wonderful gift to take in these “treasures” with the technological progress of today. I would have loved to see these rehearsal videos when I was in school. He was such a wordsmith and a genius at painting a picture for inspiration.
Love watching him as a conductor and a teacher.
It's amazing how Bernstein captured the gross sex acts in this part of the rite. I think nobody in the 21st century conductor have exuded such energy of teaching and interpreting music the way Lenny did.
Solti did in his recording
That first line was like straight from Robert California's mouth 😂
Very entertaining! Our conductor occasionally shows some storytelling but this is the best! Some smirks here and there, but look how seriously the students are taking this. After all, this is Leonard freaking Bernstein! I bet they still talk about this lesson.
The amount of money I’d pay to sit in one of these rehearsals and listen…
The One and Only! Lenny forever!
Simply fantastic lesson ✨✨✨
And his Sacre recordings with New York and London are still benchmarks.
This is a very interesting/difficult piece to play.
he conducts it even better than Gergiev
i agree
Most people do
I don’t think I’ve ever desired to be brought into earth. Certainly never has my face been down in it.
These young people play better than the musicians of 1913, when this piece was written. New music always does that. Beethoven’s music did that. Technique gets better.
“Technique” may have improved, but imagination has suffered a blow.
They’re all like “I don’t know what the hell he’s trying to say but it makes perfect sense.”
uuUuUUUuuUuUuughhh
"assolo del fagotto"
Oo
It drives me insane to see the maestro getting to the heart of this piece and these people are too proper and prudish to let themselves go.
because women grow by men.
