As a former musician, When you have an orchestra as fine as this one, and a conductor as fine as this one, _Everything_ that needed to be known about that song had been worked out in rehearsal. The conductors _Main Job_ is to set the piece in motion keep the energy level. During a performance is never the time to chastise in any way. Even if an error is made~ the best teacher I ever had taught me, _"The difference between a professional and a paid amateur is how you recover when a boo-boo happens,, this is life boo-boos happen."_
What do you expect when you get an orchestra to play marching band music? I don't have a punch line, these are very good musicians 😅 I'm just bitter they don't need sax players in 🎷the orchestra. Wait, I do see a sax at 2:01, he must have snuck in there somehow. Probably had it disguised as a bassoon or something until it was too late to remove him 🤣
Yes, there is a (lonely? 😉) sax player. You’re right, #sax is not very common in #classical #orchestras, although, the pieces in which they are used, are #gems throughout, starting with the #Arlésienne suites by #Bizet.
During the 80's and 90's the CSO with Sir George Solti was considered the best orchestra in the world. Now I see why. An orchestra that does NOT follow the conductor?? Unbelievable. CSO = Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
@@craigkdillon Thanks for commenting. You’re right, Solti‘s tenure as music director in Chicago (1969-1991) certainly was an outstanding musical partnership of excellency, as was Bernstein‘s tenure as music director of the NYPhil (1958-1969). Every musician and every orchestra sometimes doesn’t perform at the top of their possibilities. The proof of quality is whether they are able to lift themselves up to a higher level. And that’s what the NYPhil does. (They probably didn’t pay attention first because they thought, well, we know the piece, it’s „just“ this march.)
@@charlescornner There is this joke where a tourist recognizes a member of the Vienna Philharmonic in the street and asks who would be conducting in tonight’s concert, whereas the musician answers: I don’t know. In any case, we play Beethoven.

My conducting teacher said "What you show, they will do..." As the group gets more professional, the more true it is.
Seems as if analysis is only in the presenter's eyes. Whatever LB did didn't seem particularly pointed -- whether happy or unhappy.
Best I can tell, LB really likes the piccolo part, I think everybody does.

Actually it's a pic trio, not pic and flutes

Vienna Phil was famous for its "bad behavior" if it didn't agree with a conductor.
