Every time I see Leonard talking and teaching about music is inspiring. I think what he teaches here for classical music is also a lesson for many music genres if not for all. It inspires one to know how to make each note come alive, expressive and impactfull. I would have liked to meet you Leonard, I hope to meet you up there in heaven at this point!
this makes me miss my high school days playing in the school and local youth symphony. I came across multiple teachers that were as passionate as bernstein. GOOD DAYS!
When I was getting interested in classical music LB was one of my heroes. Now that he's gone it's so nice to see him in action again , and getting a very youthful orchestra into shape .
@@hemiolaguy In this case Maestro bernstein, I wish I had a secret technique I would employ it immediately, if this is a sarcastic comment that's a shame.
You can't when you're about 15 years old! It takes a whole lot of experience and the maestro guides you to pull you up actually. The can't come at their age and be super Profis
@@geoffroymb Bernstein definetely knows the music inside out. I think the commenter just pointed that out (every performers need to know the music inside out).
danke für dieses glanzstück an leidenschaft, kreativität, einfühlungsvermögen und genialität! danke für diese großartige stunde! sie hat mir meinen tag gerettet und mir in erinnerungbgerufen, was der sinn des lebens, was der sinn der kunst ist. und danke schostakowitch für diese unglaubliche musik! und danke fürs hoch laden! thank you for this showpiece of passion, creativity, empathy and ingenuity! thank you for this great hour! she saved my day and reminded me what is the meaning of life and what is the meaning of art. and thank you Shostakovitch for this incredible music! and thanks for uploading it!
It's an insect on the camera lens! I was like "WTF is that?!" because it moved very spooky like across the frame... until I realized it was a perspective trick the bug was playing on me.
A fascinating insight into yet another example of Bernstein being the consummate teacher and brilliant interpreter of classical symphonies. You can hear Bernstein performing Shostakovich's 1st with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra on TH-cam. My preference though is fantastic live performance of Paavo Järvi conducting the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra. Both the interpretation and the performance are exceptional.∙
There is no famous conductor and no famous composer... there is only a gifted teacher wanting his students understand how to play Schostakowitsch's 1st symphony. Great!
It's the training. Wind players are taught now to be cautious, not make a mistake. No risk taking, no excitement. Listen Stanley Drucker play. Brilliant. Fearless.
Dr Gregory Hamilton Sharp as razor,intuitive,charismatic,egotistic, extremely tactile,a very beautiful expressive face,these are just a very few sides of this extraordinary phenomena named Leonard Bernstein (Maestro ).
@@ghmus7 Yes indeed four packs of cigs,on top of emphysema asthma,drinking large quantities of Ballantynes Whisky staying up all night partying entertaining, socialising ,his stomach has been bloated for quite a while in the decade this took place.A sick but resilient Maestro still doing what he loved until the inevitable end.
Apologies if someone's said this earlier, but you can see Bernstein's marked-up score of this on the New York Philharmonic site at archives.nyphil.org/index.php/artifact/a8b7adc1-4650-440b-90f5-68daa9befa3b-0.1/fullview#page/98/mode/1up. Many of the points he makes with the orchestra in this video are right there in blue pencil! There are numerous other goodies here for the Bernstein (and Shostakovich) enthusiast.

His German was a bit random, and lots of it is just rehearsal numbers or counting beats. If there’s a spot, I could make an attempt. Some of it is made up, and I think the Germans understood his point (95%)
The Classical Nerd of Classical of course not the only one, I had lots of great colleagues, some of whom I’ve managed to stay in touch with, but the cello solo (with 2&3 cellos accompanying) is a major feature of the IV movement that features Lennie’s teaching. I like to tell people I learned as much in those 2 weeks as at a whole semester at Curtis!
Nein, dort wo diminuendo steht, ist z.B. noch forte. Eigentlich ein Fakt… Aber es sind wunderbare Proben, humorvoll und eine Lehre für das Musikerleben.
The other moral to the story is that conducting it 99% musicianship and 1% technique. Although his stick technique is so good he doesen't have to think about it.
@@CLASSICALFAN100 What are you about? the partying bit was about the dark shades worn in rehearsal after a late night partying, He died at the Dakota N.Y his residence after suffering a heart attack brought on by a pleural tumour and complications from emphysema 14/10/ 90.........
Should be polite directors speak the language of the host orchestra why all the countries have to speak english ? by the way i admire Leonard Bernstein he reminds me H. V Karajan
A reasonable question. Bernstein regularly rehearsed in German from 1946, but here perhaps because this was an international orchestra chose to mostly do so in English.
Det må være en stor opplevelse for unge musikere å få spille samt få undervisning som bare Berstein kunne. Jeg har spilt under mange dirigenter,men ikke noen av kaliber Karajan og Bernstein. Bernstein har gjort flere instuderinger og konserter med Wiener Philharmonicer. Annbefales for de som elsker musikk,men ikke for mennesker uten innlevelse. Brynjar Hoff Oboeplayer Retired
What a prick he was to that clarinetist. Around 9:40. She was CORRECT, but his conducting sucked. She was on the 4th beat, and he said she wasn't. And then he insults her for "looking scared."
Wozu einen Blockbuster gucken, wenn man diesen Film hier hat. Man möchte, das er nie endet. Danke LB 🙏
I wish there were more of these. I could watch 100 hours of him teaching.

Bring Maestro Bernstein back he is so needed these days,as nothing can equal his musicality and persona....
Do you have a secret technique for resurrecting the dead? Tell us more!
@@hemiolaguy In this case Maestro bernstein, I wish I had a secret technique I would employ it immediately, if this is a sarcastic comment that's a shame.
Schostakowitsch: *makes symphony*
Leonard Bernstein: dadadadada mhmh hrrrrr
The moral of the story - know the music inside and out and totally understand what you want before you get to the rehearsal.
You can't when you're about 15 years old! It takes a whole lot of experience and the maestro guides you to pull you up actually. The can't come at their age and be super Profis
That’s a suggestion for the maestro of the performers? ;)

What a fantastic oboe player
His name is Veit, he told me it’s a Bavarian name (I had never heard the name before)
Love how some creature at 1:26 is sneaking into the grass with Shostakovich sounding sneaky on background
I thought it was a rat.

Great video
Alle sehen so schüchtern aus, das ist süss und ich verstehe doch so!!!
Minute 19:03. That is Concert Master Martín Valdeschack! ✨
Thanks for the video.
We too have a clarinet that would never play as loud as supposed :'D

👏👏👏👏👏
Is this everything that was kept on tape or the whole rehearsals are there somewhere?
I recall that everything was videorecorded by DG but most not released.
Bernie really just made them so nervous haha hahahhaha
A friendly caption of all german bits would be much appreciated
His German was a bit random, and lots of it is just rehearsal numbers or counting beats. If there’s a spot, I could make an attempt. Some of it is made up, and I think the Germans understood his point (95%)
Very good!
Oboe player was killing it!
Who knows the name of the cellist in the orchestra?
Алексей Иванов that is me (John Koen)
yes because there is only one cellist in the orchestra
The Classical Nerd of Classical of course not the only one, I had lots of great colleagues, some of whom I’ve managed to stay in touch with, but the cello solo (with 2&3 cellos accompanying) is a major feature of the IV movement that features Lennie’s teaching.

Thanks, John! Yes, his work, his charm, his images, erudition, humor make a strong impression!
I am searching for Rüdiger Swann and his Triangel and his two triangel collegues.
Rüdiger Schramm (I heard Justus Franz yelling for him a few times)
" Diminuendo heisst Forte" Lenny war so lustig 🤣🤣
Nein, dort wo diminuendo steht, ist z.B. noch forte. Eigentlich ein Fakt…
Aber es sind wunderbare Proben, humorvoll und eine Lehre für das Musikerleben.

It wasn't so great at 9:45 when he blamed the clarinetist for coming in on the wrong beat. He was wrong, not she.
Was ist mit die Frisbee?
Eccezionale
bernstein was a big fan of down bows in quick passages. i think it pissed off a lot of string players.
Why is he using glasses?
Americo Mazuelos Probably partying late,he liked to party!
@@SarahJones-wy5us He actually died at a party, no fooling...!

To see things in a different light.
The clarinet player at 10:00 is so cute
Loved how he threw in 1 or 2
Yiddish phrases.

"There's one thing - ... I've forgotten what it was. The hell with it." Awkward. Getting late. Of course, just a small lapse out of much mastery.
