The School Orchestra Extravaganzas of the Berliner Philharmoniker's education programme are always a big event, and this year's meeting in February was no different. Six Berlin school orchestras had rehearsed excerpts from Grieg's Peer Gynt suites for the big day under the guidance of members of the Berliner Philharmoniker, and the conductor of the public performance in the Philharmonie was none other than Sir Simon Rattle.
Sie sind immer ein großes Fest: Die Schulorchestertreffen des Education-Programms der Berliner Philharmoniker. So war es auch im Februar 2013. Sechs Berliner Schulorchester hatten sich unter Anleitung von Musikern der Berliner Philharmoniker auf den großen Tag vorbereitet und Auszüge aus Griegs Peer Gynt-Suiten einstudiert. Dirigent der öffentlichen Aufführung in der Philharmonie war kein geringerer als Sir Simon Rattle.

Now i get the importance of the man wielding the stick
I do too. They are a teacher to perfect the sound of the orchestra and set tempo
Yes. The conductor's real work is in the rehearsals.
@TheBrabon1 That depends on the piece they are playing, and how may times they have played it. In a familiar piece, the orchestra could often play without a conductor. Eighty percent or so of a conductor's work is done in rehearsal.
I still don't get it... When I see the orchestra, they are not looking at the conductor...
@@cymaticCS There's two things to keep in mind here. Only the instruments that are about to play would be looking to him, and they are almost always watching him with their peripheral vision. That's one of the reasons conductors often look like they are flailing about crazily; so you can see his movements. BELIEVE me, they are watching him(or her) for tempo, volume, and exact points of entry.
I love how he transitions between crazy German man and a polished English accent
What piece are they playing at first 3 minutes

I had the luxury of working with Sir Simon, when I was in National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain, during the proms season and he was such a nice guy, but he would come down hard if we messed around too much. Thing is he KNEW what we were like as he used to play Timpani there many years ago, so he understood what it was like from our point of view. He even complimented me on my violin playing during the interval.
My head couldn't fit out of the door after that
I think I woud've peaked right there
He’s a Legend for sure
The conductors who are really good get that way because they have been at both ends of the baton. I don't know if a person can even conduct, or conduct well, if they haven't been conducted.
I was in the British Youth Symphony Orchestra when Rattle was playing timps had no idea he would be such a superstar
@@suedavis3525 He regaled us with many a story from his days as timpani in NYO. He was also an all round nice bloke

I have to respect someone who can be so concise, and give so much criticism, without sounding like a jerk. It's a true art
That's a very important skill. The musical education of these students is surely very different. You don't want to frustrate them too fast. So as a person who keeps the "things" together he chooses that method to reach the goal: a presentable played piece of music.
Hans M it helps when you speak German because if you only speak English everything sounds like criticism... I’m learning German so it’s obvious that it’s not critical speaking
@MrBadabimBadabum Dude what are you even complaining about. This thread is praising the effectiveness of Sir Rattles constructive criticism. Seeing problems and creating conflict where there isn't any is pretty much the definition of a snowflake

Well, it's just a rehearsal, right? ;)
also the conductor (kind of)
I love watching rehearsals. It's fascinating how accurately the conductor's vision is communicated using what seem to be very imprecise, 'non-technical' means. At one point, Rattle practically says, 'Less tea with the Queen, more Darth Vader.' And gets his point across! Wonderful, on both sides of the podium. Thanks!
pretty much means play aggressive and less lazy
Hello, I have new channel, I post about music, all about music. can you please take a glance?
So perfectly agree with this luminous observation. Made my week
This makes me want to abandon my medical studies and start playing in an orchestra. Or just turn back time and force my young self to study an instrument.

Music provides such a precarious living for so many, that I think you have made an excellent practical choice. Your professional services will probably be needed so long as you are able to offer them. Medicine is more than just an ornament of culture, dispensable during a pandemic.
Go on enjoying your music however.
God has created us with a capacity to produce it and enjoy it, not only for our own sakes but also for His glorification. Music is inherent to the mathematical relationships which govern the created universe.
@Richard Wagner
You display as little sense as your antisemitic namesake, who loved pagan mythology and became an inspiration for the Nazi movement.
God can heal WITH or WITHOUT the agency of doctors. Remember, it is GOD Who gave doctors the chemical, biological, and mental tools to work effectively. They did not CREATE the fungi necessary for the production of penicillin, did they? On the other hand, medical science is imperfect, sometimes misguided, and INVARIABLY fails in the end:
'FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH......'
(Romans 6:23a)
I have witnessed a handful of cases and heard of many, many more where PRAYER was effective in healing an injured or diseased person in the absence of medical assistance. In one case the doctors expected a woman to die of a brain aneurysm, but fellow church members prayed for her, and she was released HEALTHY after several days with NO medical procedures necessary.
Was in band in middle school, it was awful
it is a privilege to play in a orchestra and a lot of people studying music for decades can't make a living out of it, propably only a few of the musicians here in this orchestra are good enough to actually play in a orchestra in the future, its a hard life to make money with classic music, but playing music just for fun can be really cool.
I knew he meant business when I saw his hairstyle!
A Matt I was thinking the exact same thing.
In 1963 I went to see my uncle play at his rehearsal. I was very young and in those days children were not permitted at a performance of a major symphony orchestra. But sometimes, especially if they were related to a member, they could attend a rehearsal. I was visiting my uncle and aunt for a weekend so I sat in the audience with my aunt as they rehearsed.
All the musicians are sitting there in casual attire which meant sweatshirts, jerseys, red flannel shirts and unkempt hair. So out from behind the orchestra from backstage marches up this tall figure wearing white tie and tails. He looked nearly like someone from a previous century, he was almost certainly born in the previous century. His nearly white hair was combed back slick and tucked under the collar of his jacket. He ascends the podium, clears his throat, taps his baton, flipped through the pages of music, gesticulated for a moment then the orchestra came to life. Before the fifth note his waist length nearly white mane was all over the place as though he had put his finger in a light socket and there it remained for the entire duration of Van Beethoven's 9th symphony as though suspended in mid air. After the conclusion of the piece my uncle stood up and whispered in his ear, the conductor then turned around, his hair finally settling down about his shoulders and looked me in the eye and in a heavy German accent, with a twinkle in his eye, he said "Yunk man, das ist da longist standingk ovation I hast evah rezeeved!" I had stood for the entire performance often jumping up and down and clapping my hands like any preschooler. It was the most exciting experience of my early childhood and pretty much my earliest lucid memory. I think I was maybe about three. I can't remember what my uncle looked like it was so long ago but I will NEVER forget the fierce almost beastly look between his expression and hair all juxtaposed with his white tie and tails. Oh and his tails moved around as much as his hair.
The most talented musicians always have funky hair, it’s pretty cool to notice how a lot of musicians in general have messy hair

i could not agree more but a french horn was out of tune in the intro and also since im a trombonist myself (played F attachment and non F "no tubing inside the main wrap" that none of the trombones used the trigger at the end) but other then that it was good
The fact he can take this orchestra which sounds pretty good for kids and make it sound even better is amazing.
“It should sound like bad weather,” and “Ugly… but perfect,” were my two fav bits of instruction. It’s so interesting to me how this piece needs to be so tight but not sound too clean to give the right affect.
I never understood why u needed "That one person moving their hands" in front of an orchestra... Now I do damn he so important

@Tony Wang rofl, hello from Latvia. We don't even have this in entire country.
For any kids reading this, there are some opportunities somewhat like this: many big cities (at least in the US where I live) have Youth Orchestras that are of a higher caliber than your reg school orchestra. For example I live in Milwaukee and around here it’s MYSO. Do some research because there may be opportunities like this around you. (Compared to a regular school orchestra).
This man was at the Olympics in 2012, and Rowan Atkinson was one of the musician in the orchestra.
NorZea you don't say
Omale Wegge XD
NorZea -.-
really??! rowan a musician?!!! I only remember him as mr.bean!!
b888 Rowan was featured in the London Symphony Orchestra as a presenter under the baton of Simon Rattle
The difference between 12:06 and 14:14 is INSANE, they came together *so much better* after the directions about the necessary speed to play this piece (well). I’m not a musician but I love dance and I could feel something was off with the timing between the sections through my dancing while they were playing 😅 I can’t wait to hear how they sound at the end of this.
This brought back such intense and wonderful memories. During my high school years I was part of what was then called our "all state orchestra". The last year was once of the most memorable experiences of my life (I'm now 70). I was the first chair double bassist in the orchestra and Carmen Dragon was our conductor. He was, at the time, the conductor of the Hollywood Bowl Symphony Orchestra and the father of Daryl Dragon (The Captain of 'The Captain and Tensile). This orchestra gathered during the bleak winter month of February for 3 straight days of intense rehearsals with a culminating concert on Sunday. Very intense. Carmen Dragon had the similar gift of pushing until we almost hated him then backing off with humor and prodding. He created a true synergy over those days. We had struggled with the complex evolution of Sibelius' 2nd Symphony. The last Sunday rehearsal we got it. Just as we hit the major chord in the last movement the afternoon sun came through the stained glass windows of Mackay Auditorium. Beams of colored light lit up the concert hall as we finished the piece. Dragon sat back and folded his arms with a Cheshire Cat smile on his face. we all were moved beyond anything we had ever experienced before having achieved a level of performance beyond our years. A very special talent to work with young people to take them to a place that will remember the rest of their lives. So special.
Most of my conducting career has been working with amateur or semi-pro players, and I can tell you...it can be a real challenge to get what you want expressed by the orchestra. But how rewarding it is when they "get it." Then they can turn out a performance that approaches what the real pros can do......and sometimes it almost brings tears to my eyes when they break free and really sing!
I am Singing in a Semi Pro Chorus for 10 Year. (Opera,Musical , Operetta, Movie Song and old German Ufa 30th ) and we have play in Hamburg with a Big Orchestra. I now how difficult it cut be. "In the Hall of the Mountain King" is difficult , especial at the End whre it get furioso fast. The Point at 3:41 Min where Stopped ,was a typical difficult. The last notes where 3 long and getting low ,so the reaction was instant to Accrelate was to hold the Speed or even get lower. Good to hear when they are play the first 3 Notes, they are not Syncron anymore. There he Stopped.
I believe you conducted for the concert in New York a decade ago - I was first violin! Remember me John?

What a lovely man. The world is a better place with his presence.
Max Pankau 👍👍👍👍👍 I totally agree with ya.
In my experience conductors tend to be lovely like that. Have you seen Conrad Pope working?
And his German is hilarious xD Even more with the wrong subtitles...
I don't understand. Why is he so lovely ? Why are people talking so nice about this man ? Are rest of conductors assholes ?
SInisa Stojadinovic not all but a lot can be. Look up Sir Mark Elder. I’ve been conducted by him and he could be quite harsh at times. Unnecessary insults rather than just straight musical criticism. The most famous one in my orchestra was “are you trying to ruin the performance?” said to the organist (we were playing a piece which needed organ)
This is very interesting to see how an orchestra works and how important is the work of the conductor.
True
I feel like i can understand him even without the subtitles
Many of the musical terms he was throwing out are well known and not German.
This is how you deliver constructive criticism. Such a lovely guy!!
And he's not doing it in his native language. OK his German is far from perfect (it's about the same level as mine!) but he makes a real effort.
@Richard Wagner OK Richard, maybe you don't like the guy but since Brexit he has taken up residence in Berlin and acquired a German passport so his commitment to Germany is beyond any question. At least he makes an effort with the language which is more than many Brits do and now that he's a permanent resident hopefully his language skills will improve to your exacting standards.
@Richard Wagner Your comparison shows your ignorance and disability to understand a persons purpose. Not all basket ball players are going to be like Michael Jordan. Now imagine calling them lazy because of it, sounds quite petty and stupid if you ask me. I’d love to see you up there, it would be an honor. Then l can complain that you can’t speak 4 languages fluently 😂
@Richard Wagner Also dude your comment history is trash. All you do is complain on this channel. I suspect your illness to come from self projection and lack of fulfillment. Typical bully mentality, whatever is going on with you and your life I can assure you those issues will not be cured by posting negative comments on UA-cam grow a pair of balls kid and talk with a therapist.

It’s nice to see a teacher who inspires his students and takes pride and passion in his job and actually cares to help his students thrive and learn
I didn't really get what the big fuss was about with the conductors was all about. But seeing this video exposes their work a bit more. You don't really see their contribution on the stage after they have tuned everything perfectly together.
There’s a Japanese animated show called Nodame Cantibile. You can watch it subbed or dubbed but it’s pretty relaxed and lighthearted show that focuses on the journey of a young man aiming to be a professional conductor in the classsical music world. There’s no big drama but something perhaps worth investing in as he is also constantly clashing with a young women with a very different approach to classical music. The story focuses more on her character and the development on their relationship with music and with each other. I highly recommend it.
Well not really you just might not know how important they are on stage. Simplest form to see why they matter is to pick your favorite music and record yourself humming the music as close as you can to the original without playing g it in the background or listening to it first. Then play both at the same time. Depending on your memory you will see that is not quite there. then imagine 100 people having to sync this way without any indication of tempo over a complex composition of musical pieces. Add to it that you can interpret music in many different ways and the result is well... this video is a very good example.
@fleeplayTV what do you mean "not really".....the OP is basically saying the exact same thing as you. They are recognising that the incredible work of the conductor is lost to most of the audience in a live performance as they all they see is the final product of an evolutionary process.
80 to 90% of a conductors job happens during rehearsal. During that time they will make any changes regarding tempo, volume, repeats, etc trying to get the piece as close to their vision as possible. Keep in mind most of the time their are no original recordings of the pieces they are preforming. So most of the time we don't know the composer's vision of the piece all we have are manuscripts. Then during the performance a conductor is their to keep time, give cues, determine the length of fermatas, and determine the speed of crescendos and diminuendos.
0:52 we'll play this and see what happens. Famous last words of a high school band director
HAHAHAH YES!
That low brass section is really going in on that ending bit in the second version of the full piece, love it.
Bravo! What an amazing performance. I was utterly moved by the final performance
Funny how the percussonists just show up in a t-shirt.
They play maybe the most simple instrument, but they have so much responisiblity. When one of a dozen violins is off, it doesn't matter so much. There is only one drum, and he absoluetely rules the tempo.

It is all just like child's play to rattle. He handles it so well. He is never shaken by his experience. He is never slimy like a snake. I imagine his version of Haydn's 'Toy Concerto' would be spot on.

Absolutely impressive how he was able to bring all 6 of those orchestras together, never was he rude about his criticism, and he made it funny so they would remember it sooner.
Sir Simon Rattle is just an absolute joy to have conducting you when you’re a student. I was incredibly fortunate to have him as a guest conductor, he has such a way with inspiring excitement in you it’s hard to describe, he just lights up the whole hall.

Crafting knowing the music into playing the music to come together to give the entire piece a different feel and power takes skill and talent from the instruments and knowledge of how to advise each to fit into a spot that enhances everything is just awe inspiring to watch and hear. Amazing work by the orchestra and the conductor. Wonderful performance!
I'm amazed with what he managed to produce when some of them don't even know how to hold the bow properly
it's not really that hard to play... not hating or anything, but you don't need the best technique to play this, it is rather about the Interpretation and he obviously teaches this very great!
it's incredibly simple technically
Nicholas Lam ...Is there a "proper" way to hold the bow or do you mean the way you were taught to hold the bow? Isn't the important thing that the instrument produces a pleasant tone? I took over a dozen years of violin lessons in my youth and performed in orchestras including the Salem Philharmonic Orchestra for couple of years. I played in the second violin section and my brother in the first so I know my way about music performance. The critics who always make a clamor about "the proper way" or " the proper music to play" have lost sight of what music is all about.

I’ve been putting this video off for a while, seeming it time and time again n my recommended. I am glad I finally got around to watching it
Amazing. The focus of these kids is insane and that advice was incredibly on target and relatable.
Therefore we need a second term from Trump as the great conductor of the greatest nation of the universe
I agree with you completely. I have to look at the subtitles because I don't know german, but I played trumpet in an hi-school orchestra and I would have loved to have him as my conductor.
The inmediate improvement from 17:13 to 17:31 was incredible
As I’ve gotten older (22) I’m appreciating all kinds of music for what it is, and this video is something I probably would’ve skipped a couple years ago but damn this is fascinating to me now. I was in band like 5-7 grade but I cud never remember the notes and my anxiety really stopped me from flourishing. I have a deeper understanding of music emotionally now that’s always been there but never acknowledged and this video made me realize it even more. Also the passion and history behind any sound or music can be so easily glossed over with a quick glance! This is so cool.
Also the conductor had a deeper purpose than I’ve thought b4 after watching this. Makes so much more sense like their presence sets the mood of the room and each instrument should feel the music like it’s a living breathing thing. the hand gestures and his analogy’s really clicked with me.
Dafuq!? I just fucking watched the whole video and it surprisingly interesting. I'am impressed. It was only a coincidence I found this :D
same, I dont know why I watched this but it was interesting :P
mindcode,penelope:.....it is interesting because this is the real work, the insiders view so to speak, of orchestral music. This effort to make things ever better, to polish them until they shine, is what makes musical interpretation fascinating...........and the most interesting part here is that they actually do it better after a bit of rehearsing.
Of course it sounds terrible in comparison, but still not bad for bunch of 16 year old kids. Rattle didn't expect them to play like professionals.
charisma of Sir Rattle made us watch whole video
How much money conductor make
Lotta respect for the talent that the percussionists have. The guy With the cymbals must be a pro
10 years ago and the music is so fresh...
Rattle is great and so many young people experiencing his genius!
