A much better execution than most current interpreters.

all my respect for her career and the power to overcome the men’s world and the war. But when I listen to Mozart’s interpretations from that time, I’m very happy about the development of the musicology and the way of playing today. She wouldn’t pass the first round of any Orchestra audition playing Mozart like that.

Boring.

Schwanter is epic!

Absolutely! - thank you...

I often regret that few young people are exposed to this music. I enjoy much pop music but…it passes … not the great compositions.

The violin concerto is played by Gidon Kremer with an orchestra conducted by Sir Colin Davis. Extracts from Lulu are sung by Kristine Ciesinki and Norman Bailey. I think the Lyric Suite is played by the Schoenberg Quartet but cannot confirm this, as even the usually reliable IMDB does not list this under Kriis Rusmanis who made it for the BBC. If I find out more I shall post it.

Why does our present Regime not produce - and allow to be broadcast - such ENGLISH 'culture-reinforcing' programmes as this? Another excellent programme made for Channel 4, was 'O, Thou Transcendent', on the life of Ralph Vaughan Williams. Our legacy terrestrial Channels now produce nothing but 'reality' dross.

The overwhelmingly beautiful and profound music aside, these two men were never rivals, but shared their love for music and ideas in their enduring friendship.

I think holst gave us something very special, his soul gave so much, no wonder he could give no more

Nice to see Louis Krasner and George Perle in this, that excellent composer Gottfried von Einem. and also the late-lamented Anthony Pople. Some English subtitles would have been nice. Otherwise a fascinating doc. Thank you!

The Berg Three Pieces was one of Boulez' favorite works, one he began performing around 1960. He loved to take this densely complicated work and get orchestras to play it with his trademark order and precision.

BOULEZ = GENIUS!!!

what is this BBC?? Are we trying to center whiteness?? Is England some "white" country now??--- this entire thing...disgusting

Why Berg is the only one of the 2nd Vienna School I I really like. What a sound, what expression and emotion. Complex without being dry and frigid.

Elgar would like to have a word with you. But 1 genius does not a musical ilse make.

Straight from Mozart - unbeatable.

Anyone who knows the entire program of the concert for which this rehearsal was made? ok, Berg op6 + Boulez Notations and what was the rest of the program?

EXTRAORDINARY INSIGHTS..it now all makes sense..*** Gorgeous Cinematography** Kudos

49:31 na, wenn des nix war ! 😂

Don’t you just love how patient George Szell is with the orchestra in the gentle opening of this piece?

Stopped the Somerset Rhapsody just before the main tune with the Cellos and double basses

We are a small but an extraordinarily perceptive group of listeners, musicians who ‘get’ this. Thanks for this experience.

Brillante ejecución de la Excepcional Violinista .

This lovely piece not only reminded me that there's always room for cello, but also of the champion butt kicker in all the land who sadly lost a leg in a tragic gardening accident, but he foolishly continued to compete in the contest. This made him very sad, as if he was trapped andante's inferno. He spent his remaining years in a futile search of a cure that would make allegro.

It's hard to resist such an obvious straight line, however political correctness rules the day; although I will never quite see my telephone in the same light, methinks. Unlike in the past, current polls show that jokes in such poor taste are no longer acceptable, and multiple surveys show that the polls are indeed locked on this topic. So one must conclude that this is indeed no laughing matter, and that a poll lock joke would certainly be unacceptable. P.S. I am thinking that if one would attempt to make a joke about a homophone, a _"straight"_ line might not be relevant at all. And if all this makes you suspicious of my orientation, I can assure you I have never been to Eastern Asia; however I must admit I am a bit of a hobophobe. That's why I refuse to hang around the railroad yard eating beans from a tin can, or ride around from town to town in a dirty old boxcar. _(As to trying to crack wise regarding a canon, I decided it might be better to not to give it a shot, or make any reference to Admiral Hornblower in that regard. I am far too busy polishing up the handle on the big front door.....)_

The Boston Symphony Orchestra also did telecasts in this period, but because they were regular concert performances, the cameras were constricted in what they could do, whereas a taping without a paying public gave them more freedom - better for the viewer.

It is sad that whenever Berg and his music is considered nowadays, this is always what's presented as front-and-center to an understanding of his character and his work. Sadly, there is no longer any hope of encountering these wonderful compositions without all this baggage. There is no other composer of whom this may said to be true.

Her playing moves me so deeply, because the purity of her expressiv phrasing comes much more from the bow than from the left hand. Something that many of todays players have little idea about.

0:50 seriously, shut the fuck up what the hell

he coupled the 5th with Haydn 104.

Thank you for sharing!

Very Interesting video !

Thank you very much for this footage. Morini's recordings are among my favorites for the violin and I only saw one video of her playing until today.

1. This documentary presents a fascinating contrast between two friends: A. Gustav Holst peaked early in his short life with The Planets for which he is primarily known. B. Ralph Vaughan Williams slowly advanced in recognition throughout his long life with a seemingly endless parade of compositions in many different musical forms. 2. Although RVW dedicated his most performed symphony, No. 4 in F Minor, to Arnold Bax, its 1935 premiere took place one year after Holst's sudden death. Unlike the somber resignation of the Pastoral Symphony towards the WWI dead, the vehement rage of the 4th Symphony may have been fomented in RVW's grief and loss over his dear friend, perhaps resonating in the original primal loss of his father. 3. 57:15-25: 'Vaughan Williams wrote to Holst's wife and daughter, "My only thought, whichever way I turn, what are we to do without him?" Response: Enter Ursula Wood in 1938, whose muse-like presence ignited the domestic drama that propelled RVW's inspiration for his later period compositions. 4. At the end of his life, did RVW's thoughts turn to Holst via Thomas Hardy when composing his 9th and final symphony? A. Hardy's The Return of the Native inspired Holst's Egdon Heath, named for both the fictional place and actual heath where both had walked together when the composer visited the author. B. Scenes and characters from Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles were explicitly referenced in the original sketches for RVW's 9th Symphony in E Minor, but were later withdrawn prior to publication.

Szell kvetched about Nikisch. (Chuck Klaus told me some 30 years ago from Liverpool, NY.) Think of it?

Going through the bottle.

I moved to Edinburgh several years ago having grown up in Bristol and attended college in Bath. This makes me so homesick for the West country! Love this programme. Thank you so much.

The Top! Thank you!

informative, interesting and delightfully presented by these two . Very good indeed !

❤❤❤❤

A very beautiful film,about these two Giants of British Music.

This man was a true genius

Wonderful to watch Pierre rehearse Berg w/ VPO. The "Three Pieces", op. 6 are Berg's big homage to Mahler, especially the MARCH. At 28:46, there's the Mahler 6th/ 3rd Movement violin passage (right before the E Major in Mahler), and a Mahler "mini-Hammer" at 30:15. Totally nuts.

Wie peinlich, was die Trompetengruppe da abliefert! Die Stellen sind überhaupt nicht vorbereitet und sie schaffen es nicht ab 21:26 auch nur ein einziges mal zusammen einzusetzen.

The Malvern Hills walk photo reminds me of Pooh and Piglet.

31:18

Wow

Just a small correction to the english translation with regards to the names of the notes. Around 13:10 he doesn't say "fes", which would be f flat, but rather "fis" which is f sharp. Again around 14:09 he says "gis" which is g sharp and not g flat. G flat would be ges. And then around 20:28: he says "cis" and "fis" which again are c sharp and f sharp, respectively. C flat would be ces.

13:08 sick...
