    The orchestra is "legit" because its the actual London Symphony Orchestra in the scene.

    So at 6:18 they comment on the 'legit-ness' of the orchestra. The orchestra performing here is the *actual* London Symphony Orchestra - the same orchestra as in the original Bernstein Ely Cathedral performance that this clip is based off. The concertmaster in the video is the current co-leader of the LSO, Carmine Lauri, and from recognising a lot of the faces in the video I'd wager all of the performers there are part of the LSO's standard concert lineup.

      Others have commented on the concertmaster giving big cues, but the whole scene was done legitimately, live, for the filming. The concertmaster's not going to be cueing other sections of the orchestra, and it's too big a group, and too complex a piece, for the orchestra to play perfectly without a conductor. Bradley has said he wanted to be able to do the scene properly. I'm always hugely critical of music portrayals on screen, but I actually think he did ok with this. I've seen concertmasters with pro conductors make big gestures during regular concerts. But from what I've read I think he was 'conducting' them legitimately for the scene.

    • @Quotenwagnerianer
      @Quotenwagnerianer 3 місяці тому +21

      Which brings me to another sloppiness in the actual direction and preparation of the scene. They were content with having the real LSO to shoot with but failed to go the extra mile.
      The real performance was televised, you can watch it. And guess what, it being the mid 70's the hairstyles were completely different and of course there were way less female players in the orchestra. The latter is a bit hard to accomplish if you want the real orchestra in the scene, the times have changed, but the former is just a job of the make-up department and caring enough to spend money on wigs for about 120 people.

    In Belgium, there's an actor who's a big fan of Brahms 4 and it was his life's dream to conduct it, so they made a TV show following him trying to learn how to conduct (within 1 year) and showing what a conductor does, and it ended with him performing Brahms 4 with the Belgian National Orchestra. It's actually really nice, both for introducing people to classical music and showing what a conductor does.

      I remember when my church choir did a collaboration with another church choir from another town. For those who don't know, in church choirs the person playing the piano/organ is usually also the one conducting so we rely not so much on hand gestures and a whole lot more on eye contact, nods and body language. The choirs practiced separately at first - all went well for us. Then the other choir came to us for a practice with our leader conducting and the other playing - all went well for both choirs. Then we went to them for a practice with their leader conducting and our playing - and neither choir would come in when we were supposed to. Our leader was very expressive and very clear with her cues, while theirs kept the beat with a poker face and never looked up from his sheet music. I can read music, most of us could to some degree, but the fact that he gave us no indication at all made it seem like he didn't want us to come in even though the music said so and at least our choir had done so at every other practice. He was a great musician, but I wouldn't want him conducting me ever again 😅

    I got to perform with Bernstein a handful of times. Most notably was during our first performance during the Rite of Spring at the Schleswig Holstein Musik Festival in 1987.
    He had been ill a few days before and there was a possibility of his not being well enough to perform. He did... we were in the first section of the Rite where the strings hold a chord in the strings with a cut off to the next series of crashes, bangs and booms or rhythm.
    He didn't cut off the strings and jumped into the air..... and at the same time he caught himself not in time, however. The concertmaster/mistress now in the Baltimore Symphony held the orchestra's strings together and we waited what seemed like an eternity (split seconds) to collect himself.
    It was exciting to say the least and recovered as scary as it was.
    As for the movie, it's about the man and his relationship of being bisexual in an age that wasn't very tolerant. His wife accepted him almost unconditionally. He would have burnt out sooner without her. She is the unsung heroine behind the maestro. And he wasn't the same after her passing.
    No way to fill the void she left.

Music was what he’d dedicated his entire life to, especially conducting, and Mahler was his favorite composer. He would have known that piece in and out in his sleep. He does a lot to get Bernstein’s character and mannerisms, and I think it’s obvious he did a lot of training and preparation. I honestly really loved this movie because you can tell it comes from a place of admiration and respect for the music and the musicians

    Bradley Cooper isn’t a conductor, I get it, I don’t expect the conducting to be perfect. What I don’t get is why they didn’t cut away from the obviously inaccurate conducting to focus on the actual orchestra or soloists or members of the choir, people who actually know what they’re doing! I just sang Mahler 2 with my choir and I definitely wouldn’t have been able to follow his “beat” looooool
    Also I find it hysterical that Brett said he wasn’t a pianist when he got to GRADE 8 😩😭

    Yannick is a wonderful conductor. I was singing with Montréal Symphony when he started with Orchestre Métropolitain, and shortly, he programmed pieces that required a chorus, so us OSM singers moonlighted at OM. The first thing I noticed about him was not his youth, nor his incredible musicality, though those would have been prominent. It was his respect, which struck all of us. A respectful conductor. No wonder everyone who has ever had the chance to work with him still raves about the experience! Humble, too, and respectful. Those qualities are few and far between in the music world. Yannick? Pure joy.
    His work with Mr Cooper is phenomenal. To take a musically inclined ACTOR and bring him up as a believeable Bernstein is something else. Oh, there may be a beat out of place here and there, even the most reknowned have f*ckups that are sometimes memorable, if not legendary, where the Konzertmeister must keep their cool so that they can be a reference for everyone on stage, including the barytones who are almost out of sight, lost near the wings of the concert hall.
    As a Dramatic Soprano, I wonder who placed the Mezzo so far in the front. A couple of steps back and the regular glimpses the conductor and soloist exchange would have been more stressed upon, and less disrupting than having the conductor turn so much. Like when Tatiana Troyanos got annoyed with Dutoit for God knows what reason (he did cause more than one to be annoyed) and in rehearsal, sang the Habanera with one foot raised on her chair, her hips then being totally free to ACT Carmen. Lightning in their eyes I tell ya!
    Sorry for the rant. Good memories is all. :)

      It for sure was Cooper's idea, because of the way he shot this, they singers would have distracted from him if they had been positioned were they really stood in the original performance.
      Just look it up on UA-cam, they stood right next to Bernstein , half a step before him, so that a simple glance to the side was sufficient for contact.

    The section where you guys played to his conducting cracked me up-I’m a soprano, and way back in high school our normal choir concerts and competitions would be conducted by our own teachers, whose idiosyncrasies we were very used to-and then every year there would be a citywide Christmas concert in which every high school in the city would form one megachoir, and each school’s choir teacher would direct a certain number of songs, and some of them were easy to follow and clear, and some of them were fine if a bit dry or unemotional as far as musical expressiveness went, and some of them…four years of that in, in our senior year, if you weren’t their students you were still going “What does that mean??? Why are you accenting just the upbeats with your hands; this song isn’t syncopated; there’s no -sound- there! What is happening??? Was that supposed to be a cutoff signal? It looked like he said ‘come in now,’ but we’re already singing?” It is strangely nostalgic with a few decades of distance and you guys frantically playing 1-1-1-1

    I can't comment about your critique. I have been to a concert in Vienna where Bernstein was guest conductor when I was a student in 1969/70. I have not watched the movie but what I can say is that Bernstein was a performer with a baton in his hand. No amount of practice could help Bradley Cooper imitate that wild card. And yes, if you can't blame Blood Raven (ASOIAF, GoT) look to the concert master for help!😁

Bradley probably wasn't studying to be a conductor 24/7 in those 6 years, and clearly has some musical skills but not the kinds you'd need to conduct an entire orchestra and choir and have all the cues and parts running simultaneously in your head.

      The character is so ingrained. The musicianship is a huge factor here, but given that he hadn’t devoted his whole life to studying music (piano, composing, conducting) like Bernstein did, he does a good job at approximating those parts and making up for it in the attitudes, speech, mannerisms, etc. As a pretty big fan of Bernstein I really thought this was a great movie and it was enough for me to suspend my disbelief that it’s not the real Lenny
