      Outdoes the Germans? Surely you jest. I am a huge fan of Lenny but as he aged he slowed down like a fine watch. Listen to his earlier LVB and we are talking 5-8 minutes faster. Listen to this, Felix Weingartner conducting the 5th in a magnificent performance that is breathtaking! BTW, to really learn about prior years, look up any of the RS3D archive. Especially Rachmaninoff performing his #2 Concerto with Stokowski! th-cam.com/video/JXtbCVf6hU0/w-d-xo.html

I'll never figure out what is going on with anyone who gave this a thumbs-down, and frankly as long as I never cross paths with them I will let it be. So sad that Ludwig Van never heard this masterpiece the way most of us can.

  • @linwooddabney798
    @linwooddabney798 9 ปีที่แล้ว +39

    Having performed this many times as a French hornist. I have to say that Bernstein is the best at conducting this symphony, every time he conducts he will make small adjustments to it and by looking at him he would let you know if you were off key or other mistakes. He was one of the most engaged conductors and could draw more out of a orchestra than anyone else I had played under. If you watch many of his concerts you will notice these small but very important subtleties. I do miss him and his music. Another one who followed in his shoes is the great John Williams.

      I think if I could come back as any human being in history, it would be as L.B., minus the smoking and minus some life style proclivities. Even with those reservations about him, I have to say I admire him probably the most of any human being who made an impact in any field, upon the public and upon his art.
      I was privileged to see him in person, years ago, when he brought his son to the theater in New York where I was Ass't. Mgr. to see "Catch-22." What a powerful, charismatic in-person presence he personified. Yes!

      Yes. The musical insight and intuition Beethoven had created this amazing piece of pure music. In my opinion, on par with Bach considering the terrible handicaps which Beethoven endured while creating his music - going deaf, & family problems. I think Bach's support system (like 20 kids) and stability enabled him to produce much more stuff for longer... But some of Bach's compositions contain similar insight and intuition from a different time with different instruments and orchestras.

    Eleven minutes of pure energy coming from the very universe until our souls.

    Maestro Bernstein's music and personality reach the heart. Always. And yes, his technical mastery is a huge part of it. However, with such a twinkle in his eye and his impersonation of many moods, he makes the individual musician feel he is right there with him or her. It almost doesn't matter whether he conducts one way, or another. Genius.

    All involved people, orchestra musicians, audience and everyone else at the theater, so lucky to witness the genius of Leonard Bernstein !!! I am jealous, but also greatful for being able to see great Maestro conducting even if it’s a recording. Look at his eyes. He is so kind and majestic !!!!

    By far, the finest performance of this masterpiece. Bernstein masterfully summons its full force --and without rushing it! So many performances of the great masterpieces are RUINED by an exaggerated tempo! I love Newmontaigne's comment about being made to "feel invulnerable, mighty, and triumphant against anxiety and depression." Too bad that drug addicts had never been introduced to Beethoven!

    My mother was so disappointed. She thought she had a genius for a son when at age 3 I would pull the 7 record 78 rpm set of this wonderful symphony off the shelf, set it on the record changer and sit rapt listening to it. Sadly, for her and fortunately for me, I turned out to be far from genius material but this piece of music has been at my core since then. That well worn set was Arturo Toscanini conducting the NBC Symphony Orchestra and this wonderful Bernstein interpretation comes the closest to that of all the multitude of versions I have heard in my lifetime.
    Thanks for putting this up.

    Orchestra and conductor underplay somewhat the tension and vehemence of the opening movement to make the finale the culmination.
    With careless treatment this movement can get tedious - especially with the exposition repeated - but here there are slight, subtle increments in intensity, loudness, excitement that keep it alive and satisfying to the very end.

    Beethoven reminds me that even if I were to become handicapped in some way - I could still code for computers or fix cars. How? Because I've played instruments, written code and fixed cars for years. I see the genius he is - he used his memory and mind to "feel" the music like when I'm writing code without testing. He felt vibrations in music like a tuner like I feel vibrations in cars or listen to their sounds and just know what's wrong with them without even touching them. It's years of getting to know something and being intimate with it. He was a true genius and a gift to mankind.

Some of the best conductors have faith in the wrong notes and even if it isn't wrong, I still adore Bernstein in all his being.
