i feel like every musician involved in classical music in the 20th century were able to speak french, english and german
HelsyV2 French? More like Italian
Maybe I don’t want Heaven A lot of well known classical musicians were French though. A lot came from Italy too
And English. Don't forget that. Or do you take it for granted?
First of all Italian
Das ist halt eines der wenigen Dinge, die mich als deutscher stolz machen
1:47 my last brain cell when I am trying to focus on a test.
Brody Glydr omg🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👌👌👏👏👏
Stupid and not funny.
Jack Marentette I hope your day gets better. ”Find happiness in small things. It takes much more effort to hate. Who would want to feel sad or grumpy when you can spread happiness and laugh?”
Skkl1 thats how your kids calling you?
@@zane3556 Thanks mate, this quote made my day=))
The best rehearsal story I ever heard is about Sir Thomas Beecham who was running through the concert schedule. The usual popular piece was included. Sir Thomas didn't much like rehearsing pieces he knew very well, so he said "I don't think we need run through this." Upon which a cellist put up his hand. "I'm not familiar with this, Sir" he said.
"You're not?" said Sir Thomas. "No, Sir" replied the musician. "You'll enjoy it." said the great man. "Now, let's go and have lunch."
Barbara Northwood What a sweet story! True genius. I experienced almost the same with Maestro Hannu Lintu.
So very Sir Thomas. "Benny" [Bernard] Herrmann used to love to tell stories about him.
Bit of a bastard really. Great with the one liners and putdowns.
@@jeanparke9373 Lol is it really that sweet, though?
@Alison Wunderbar a rich dude. He basically bought his way in.. Very good at getting his own way. Supremely arrogant. Known to tell a female cellist that thing between your legs is designed to give pleasure to millions and all you can do is sit there and scratch it.
0:32 maybe it is the most longest baton in his career..
Ikr this is the first video I’ve seen with one too
The great conductors are the ones who understand that what they are doing is a collaboration with the musicians in front of them.
DOUBLE BASS!!!
...
Wait... Sorry, Wrong video...
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH CONTRA BASSI!!! 💀
YOU HAVE NO EARS NO EYES!!
yOu hAvE nO eArS!! nO eYeS!!!..... yOu hAvE nO eArS!!....... and nO eYeS!
I had the honor to be in a concert with the Vienna Philarmonic and Mariss Jansons conducting in 2017, after the concert I waited outside the artists door and I waited until Mariss Jansons left the building, I said to him “Bravo Maestro” and he gently smiled and Shaked My hand. R.I.P. Maestro Jansons
2:37 Admit it. You giggled.
i didnt even need to click on that to know what i giggled at
No, I didn't.
Did not. Why would I?
Ah we immature ones.. 😂🤜🤛
Goodbye Mariss! Conduct heavenly orchestras!
Was sad to hear of his passing. No doubt he's conducting the Angels in Heaven.
Mariss looks so young here! RIP Maestro.
Where is Celidibache yelling "Viola!!!!!"
And Tosacanini's "Aaah, contrabaaaaaassiiii!!!"
@ageingdrummerboy So you say Celi was not great ???
Such an amazing thing to see, these musicians are on an elite level.
Boulez was one of my heroes. His music is sooo clear. He makes sense out of a score.
He didn't write music though.
@@psijicassassin7166 What are you talking about? He was one of the most important 20th century composers.
@@calebsun492 His sound arrangements sound like they were made by AI. Seriously, you can't distinguish his "music" from that made by computers given the same tone rows.
I am not a great serial music lover but some of Boulez's works are quite distinctive AND beatiful
This is the magic of youtube. THIS STUFF. When masters are constructing their creations they make interesting and deep reaching comments. It gives us the idea how hard and complicated these things are.
Great video. This shows just how important rehearsals are, and the sheer effort the great maestros of our time put into them.
Oh, so the musicians actually playing don't put in any "sheer" effort then?
The only great conductors are the ones that understand the cowbell and how you can always have more cowbell.
been 2 years we still need more god damit
Wow! Gergiev has a baton
and a toothpick
A great conductor makes a great orchestra; that has always been my belief!
@ageingdrummerboy You want my assessment of the Vienna Philharmonic? It's just as superb as the Berlin Philharmonic!
Not in our days, the orchestras today are technically superb and conductor do not establish a permanent relationship with an orchestra. They come, made three rehearsals, made the concert, took the money and went to another orchestra. There is no time to infuse the conductor personality into the performance, they are traffic controllers, simply stay there to be sure that one car doesn´t crash into another, they can´t do anything more on two or three rehearsals.
@@pablov1973 I wouldn’t say that about every single conductor. There are still some who conduct according to the old ways!
This is a cool video but it's kind of weird that they show the conductors conducting music that we aren't hearing.
RIP Maestro Jansons
I know some of the orchestras being rehearsed:
Rotterdam Philharmonic (Gergiev/Prokofiev)
Israel Philharmonic (Mehta/Strauss)
Vienna Philharmonic (Boulez/Berg)
English Barqoue Soloists? (Gardiner/Bach)
I can understand why my late grandfather had a dream to be a conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic!
RIP, Maestro Jansons.
RIP mariss jansons ;(
Auf wiedersehen, Mariss Janssons! We'll all dearly miss you so much.
R.i.P. marris
Is there a full video available on medici (or anywhere else)? Can't find it .
I remember years ago in Anchorage.
I was shopping at the only mall in Alaska and I had a wonderful discussion with the woman who was working at the jewelry counter at sears well the watch counter really. She mentioned that they (the orchestra were having difficulty with there conductor) I believe that she played the cello) seams like a lifetime ago now.
i miss Alaska!!!
Thank you for the button:-)
Hi! Can I use this video in educational purpose to talk about Conductors on my TH-cam channel?
Was that Tom Stevens being coached by Salonen?
Which movement of the symphony no.88 is Donhayi conducting in this excerpt?
First
Also 4th
What is the piece right at the start of the video? it's amazing
The 2nd movement from Prokofiev's _Scythian Suite_ :)
el mejor Director y un grande maestro SERGIU CELIBIDACHE ...es incomparable......quien lo conoce sabe de que hablo...
RIP maestro Jansons
Would be great to see the full rehearsal vids without the breaks. Do those exist?
Hello David, you can follow the link bellow the video, which I copy here: www.medici.tv/#!/great-conductors-in-rehearsal And find alls the videos in full versions !
Here’s a nice one though quite a bit further in the past: th-cam.com/video/bky5FHEKZjk/w-d-xo.html
@@gerbs139 fantastic! thank you for sharing that. i'm struck, not just by his knowledge and passion for the piece, but also with his patience with the orchestra while he works them towards what he wants. (although, the shushing in the beginning made me laugh.) really great vid.
I was waiting for Toscanini to destroy the contabasses
Plase... Where can I find the complete episode or episodes?! ...
Does anyone know who’s the horn player in the til eulenspiegel?
Meanwhile Toscanini: You have no eeears, no eeeyes, Contrrrrabaaassi! Corrrpo d'un Dio Santiiiissimo!
And the orchestras these conductors are rehearsing are: ____________.
I only recognized LA Phil.
Pierre Boulez was surely reharsing an Austrian orchestra; you can figure out because of the viennese horns.
I think:
Valery Gergiev: Rotterdam Philharmonic
Zubin Mehta: Israel Philharmonic Orchestra
Pierre Boulez: Wiener Philharmoniker
Mariss Jansons: Oslo Philharmonic
@@neil7137 Christoph von Dohnanyi: London Philharmonic
Does anyone know the piece at the intro of the video is?
I think it's Prokofiev's Scythian Suite - awesome piece.
Whats the intro music please
"The Enemy God" from Prokofiev's "Scythian Suite". The rock group Emerson, Lake & Palmer used it to great effect in their concerts in the mid 1970s.
Thanks so much
from where is the intro?
2:35 when the wife has been away on vacation for a few weeks and comes back home and is demanding.
Wouldn't it be lovely if Medici would print the names of the orchestras as well. Or shall we continue the hero worship of conductors as if they were making the music? Maestro IKMarchini
Very good point!
Hey maybe if orchestras would actually lift half a finger to make a phrase without someone kicking and screaming asking them to do it half the time then things would be different
This was a wonderful perspective on how famous conductors rehearse. But I did not like that Esa-Pekka Salonen, one of the most in-demand conductors in the classical genre, the former Music Director and Conductor Laureate of the Los Angeles Philharmonic who led it brilliantly in the transition into the Walt Disney Concert Hall, and the new Music Director of the San Francisco Symphony, got by far the shortest segment in the video- 20 seconds! A video such as this should show each of these master conductors equally!
This video looks quite old and is perhaps from a time where he was of less renown
It’s actually derived from a much longer rehearsal video devoted to La Mer which he was recording at the time. I think it is still available. I have a feeling that he rehearses very differently now with all the experience he has acquired
I think it's a trailer for a much longer program
i want to see gustavo dudamel rehearsal with school orch
In my mind, heart, and soul, I would have a blast being a conductor. I can see, hear and feel the music. Sadly I have little in the way of actual musical talent, other than some percussion growing up. And since I don't know the actual lingo or how to read music, being a conductor is something I will never be able to do...A dormant talent you could never put your finger quite on what it was, or what you were feeling..You just know it's there within you.
Work beats talent, learn the lingo, and learn how to read music. You will never be able to conduct only if you believe that you will never be able to conduct. Just work.
mas dranif as a very wise actor once said in various films, "YOU CAN DOO IT..!!"
Stand up and wave your arms around in the privacy of your own home. It’s great exercise! Plus, you’ll enjoy it and annoy no one (unless you’re playing your music too loud). Fantasy conducting - someone should do a tutorial.
It's really dumb to show conductors beating time while unrelated music is on the soundtrack, which they do at the end.
Norrington? Great?
I always feel waving hands are all conductors😅🤣😂
2:05 Which Berg piece are they rehearsing ?
His "Three Pieces for Orchestra", Op. 6. I believe what you heard here was a bit of the first movement.
Cool! Thank you very much!
De todas las profesiones, la del director de orquesta es la que produce mas placer. Recuerden al viejo Celibedaci y al joven Dudamel. R. Guzman Q., Tampico
Unrelated but what's the name of the music you hear in between clips
Whereabouts exactly? Do you mean what are the names of _each_ piece?
Where is his majesty H. Von Karajan ?
He was a good businessman. Did he also conduct?
@@jeanparke9373 yes
He was a nazi. Did he also conduct?
Dead.
Pause at 2:38
That’s what she said
Valery Gergiev ?
Happy New Year WELCOME 2020 💛💚💜💛
Professor Thomas Dvorak belongs here
3:53 is that Bartok himself playing the Miraculous Mandarin?
Til Eugenspiegels is soooo good.
Gergiev is one of my absolute favorites.
Wha.... no Toscanini?
Where.is. the. Mravinsky?
Zubin Mehta? Where's Stokowski? Walter?
where are the woman?
No compredemos porque en este grupo no esta Andre Previn?
Hay muchos que no están, duraría quizá 20 minutos al menos de poner a todos los grandes directores que uno pueda pensar
Si nomás tres son los buenos.
Los demás no sirven!!!!
Andre Previn,the greatest conductor,pianist and composer.
Every conductor sings the same no matter what the instrument "I want you to sound like this---DEE DAW DEE DEE DEE DAW DAAH DEEE DAW----Got it?"
Amazing how few conductors can sing. Most are barely able to approximate the tune?
@@jefolson6989 Leonard Bernstien almost lost production of West Side Story when he first pitched it by singing the songs himself
2:07 tac nayn
Opening piece?
2nd movement of Prokofiev's _Scythian Suite_
I feel like if they were to make a film out of a conductor, Michael Haneke as a director and the late Klaus Kinski as the conductor, I would say, a dream come true. But of course, that wouldn't be possible.
Greens Man
Who knows? There are some pretty obscure movies and documentaries, so maybe it’ll be a thing one day.
3:07 for a young Ronald Leonard
So it was the LA Phil
Where’s Leonard Bernstein???
He's dead
My God I thought Pierre Boulez was long gone... pardon my ignorance
Died December 2016. So at the time of your comment he was. But not long. Gone I mean.
What about Maestras Falletta & Alsop??
*Angry Toscanini left the chat*
Lmao
You have no eyes!
@@frafrafrafrafra you have ears in your feet
I've never seen M. Gergiev use a baton before. I only see him use only his hands.
This was a technique used by Mravinsky, conductor of the Leningrad Philharmonic. Blomstedt now in his 90's also conducts w/o a baton and you can see and hear him conducting some marvelous performances of Bruckner
@@axelsohn1454 That's also what I prefer. Only my hands.
wtf Gergiev with a normal baton? 😯
Why is Gardiner in this?
According to you, Gardiner isn't a great conductor?
Because he's an absolute beast. Easily one of the world's greatest living conductors. Now get off my Internet.
He is only a tyrant.
I 100% can do this without practice. Flipping con men 😂
I didn't know palpatine was a conductor
great conductors? The title should read 'the second rate conductors that came after the greats (Golovanov, Furtwangler, Knappertsbusch, Busch, Rozhdestvensky, Anosov, Weingartner, Scherchen etc. etc.)'
Ok boomer
@@remifasolla5324 am I wrong? And fyi I'm not a baby boomer, I'm 33, I'm a millennial.
You are absolutely right..It is refreshing to see that not all modern ears are dead
@ageingdrummerboy why am I wrong? And yes there is footage of many of the greats rehearsing
Boulez 😂
One time my teacher In 8tg grade took her baton and threw it at the other class and yelled why am I even here because no one looks up at her
We had a rehearsal this past week. The director stopped ... and one section (cough cough saxophones) didn't stop until they came to a long rest. She (our director) had a COW, and not just a little one ... but a full grown Holstein bull cow.
Part of being a good musician is being attentive.
I’ll stick to banjo
DOHNANYI???????????????🤭😝
3:03 ??
Best is zubin mehta
Я здесь кроме Булеза что-то великих дирижеров не увидел.
Toscanini: *FOR THE LOVE OF THE HOLIEST GOD! YOU ARE NOT A MUSICIAN! YOU HAVE NO EARS, NO EYES!*
Where is Terence Fletcher? Not quite my tempo
These young conductors should watch the tape of themselves speaking then when conducting. Take cues from their natural gestures while speaking. No need for Big, stiff gestures! Too much!
3:35 Mariss Jansons est vraiment coincé. Dans sa gestique et sa politesse outrancière.
Not quite my tempo
My beef with a lot of conductors is their refusal to play works by lesser known composers and their emphasis on atonal tripe. The Kiel Piano Concerto, for example, is a great piece but rarely is it performed in the concert hall. Ries, Hoffmeister, Romberg, Berwald, St. Georges, Fodor, J.P.E. Hartmann, Wilms, etc. These composers were just as good as Beethoven or Haydn. Rather than showcase these gems they stick with the same old same old. Some works by composers such as Prokofiev and Shostokovitch are just aweful and grate on the ear. But I guess that's the problem when you come from academia. You are more interested in being profound or embracing the new for shock value than providing great music to your audience. Sad.
Glass ceiling, does it still remain? Where are women orchestral conductors?
There are quite a few now, but they are no better or worse than their egotistical male counterparts.
How are you doing today my name is Eric
Great egos in rehearsal
Gergiev go home!
Gustavo Dudamel?
Pineapple ?
Maybe after he learns to take his Tranquilizer before each concert then he'd appear in one of these in the future
female representation off the charts
Is it really a necessity to bring gender into the equation? Can’t you just enjoy the music?
@@avadakedavra9500 I just find it interesesting how I'm sure all video suggestions bellow this video also only have men on their thumbnails. All I'm trying to do is to make music more enjoyable to everybody :)
Also where are the black conductors?
Also where are the lesbian conductors?
Also where are the transgender conductors?
Also where are the Muslim conductors (facing East)?
Also where are the illegal immigrant conductors?
Also where are the conductors having abortions?
Who has some spare AAA batteries? My virtue signaler is low on power.
