The Conductor: finding the spirit in the players, the best sound of each instrument and the collective sound character in order to perform the composition as it was heard in the mind of the composer. Recording is like the mirror, a sound mirror that tells all. Even emotional heart felt frequency can it elicit. Stravinsky !! Thank you for posting this video.
Playing with precision and passion, this is the best film footage of Stravinsky I have seen. A thousand thanks, Sir.
Great to see the Maestro looking so happy.
his energy, mood and vitality despite his age is amazing, just like his music, full of energy and life.
Igor Stravinsky rehearsing his "L'Histoire du soldat" at the 30th Street Studio, New York City, on January 27, 1954. The musicians are David Oppenheim (clarinet), Loren Glickman (bassoon), Robert Nagel (trumpet), Erwin L. Price (trombone), Alfred Howard (percussion), Alex Schneider (violin), Julius Levine (double-bass). The recording is, or was, available in a 2-CD Sony Classics set "Stravinsky Conducts Stravinsky - The Mono Years 1952-1955". However you can now (finally) listen to this performance here: th-cam.com/play/OLAK5uy_m9Z3wyIwOegcJeNH4D-pEOwDhjI-trFmM.html
David Oppenheim on clarinet .... he was at the time, head of Columbia Masterworks for whom Igor Stravinsky was recording . Perhaps that's why he was privileged to share some Cheese and wine with the Maestro here during the break..en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Oppenheim_(musician)
Married to Judy Holliday at the time..) he also 'narrated 'this 1967 documentary on music he obviously didn't understand or care for ..... Oppenheim was a bit of an a'hole to Frank Cook of Canned Heat here ........th-cam.com/video/afU76JJcquI/w-d-xo.html
I had the distinct pleasure of playing in a brass quintet for several seasons with this recording group's trumpet player, the legendary Bob Nagel, who is now 90 years old. He was sure, during one of our rehearsal breaks, to regale us with past tales or reminisce about scenes just like this one, with names like Copland, Bernstein, and others. He is a kind, generous human being in an era of ego-driven trumpet players. It was an honor playing with him.
Phil Golson He sounds great on the CD. Didn't he play Conn his entire career?
I think so. A buddy of mine, Dr. George Dougherty, did his doctoral dissertation on Mr. Nagle and would know. Find him on FB--he is in Ankeny, IA.
genius !!!!! i love this man !!!!!
A wonderful video. Hopefully, it will provide inspiration to future composers of vital new music.
Absolute masterpiece

@7:20 Discussing music with Stravinsky with bread, cheese and a bottle of good wine. Wow... can you imagine?
Genius at work!
najveci kompozitor 20 veka,the grates composor of 20 centuries
I was born two years later than I should have been, and for two reasons: I entered the Oberlin Conservatory in 1967. Two years prior, S. came to the school for a week of rehearsals, concerts, etc., incl. conducting the orchestra. Perhaps 40 of his works performed in seven days. I would have heard all this, if I had arrived at Oberlin in 1965.Second life mishap. Not moving to NYC until 1983, when Birgit Nilsson was finishing her singing roles there. She sang in the Levine Met Gala, but I was too poor to go.
@PhillipPark90
would agree with you.
Robert Frost was instrumental in getting Igor "known" in the USA.
i've studied Igor for 40yrs, btw.

Note : Alex(ander) Schneider was the legendary second violinist of the Budapest String Quartet and one of the leaders of the Casals Festivals in Prades and Puerto Rico.
Just a quick clarification: The bassoonist is Loren Glickman, and he plays the German bassoon (fagott); not the french bassoon (basson). Very cool video.
Very enjoyable rehearsal. I wish I could have met him.
It would be cool if my family and I met him and I agree with you on the rehearsal. :)
My father did, back in the 60s
se podra conseguir este material entero?
You should use the 16mm upload tool! Hook your projector up to your computer to do this.
i need total this video. can you help me?
I have an original 16mm print of this. I wonder if it's worth much. It looks much better than this video transfer.
@prestonandrew
because there's no-one out there worthy of the honor.

So why arent there programs on television like this now?
Very good question. The culture has been so dumbed-down, that such a thing would be impossible. We live in a culture of "just above animal" category. NY, London, Berlin, Paris, etc., not so much, but the rest of the world is a completely lost cause.
Preston Patterson: Because there aren’t composers like this now.
love the cigarette !! Any idea what date this recording is ??
1955
Walter Benjamin on violin.
Alexander (Sascha) Schnieder is the violinist. Does he look like the author Benjamin??
That’s not Igon Strunklovski ?
And yet common opinion has it that Stravinsky is not the best conductor of his compositions.
