Loading ...Podcast 3: On Conductors
Posted: Monday | 12.28.09
This is the third in my series of talks on Great Music and Great Musicians. In this podcast, I talk about orchestral conductors. Please click on the black arrow below to hear Podcast 3:
It is interesting to see the great conductor, Carlos Kleiber, in Rehearsal. Yes… he is a young man at that time. Watch carefully, as he asks the Clarinet player (in German) to try to imitate a crying sound, while not *forcing* the instrument’s sound…
And below you can see Kleiber again in Brahms 4th symphony: At a point he becomes impatient, and he seems to say: “Now folks, here’s a very clear downbeat; kindly come in on the beat…”
Hank Zauderer is a violinist and an artist. He regularly hosts an evening classical music program at NPR radio station KUSP in Santa Cruz, California. In the past he was a member of several symphony orchestras and chamber music groups. In particular, he loves the study of great composers and feels that music composition so often reflects the key events that took place in a composer's life.
