thanks for the video, very funny story about Solti and Giulini
What a bore! It’s all about himself. No charm. No back-and-forth. They are a slimy breed, aren’t they, conductors?
You see, it’s something called “an interview”, that’s what one does in an interview; there’s an interviewer(s) and an interviewee.
It’s not a cocktail party. It’s not a panel discussion. It’s not a late night talk show.
Some are very much so, but by no means all – do not tar them all with the same brush!
Thanks for putting them all in one tidy pile, Jerry. Can’t wait for your interview.
I don’t understand the caption.
Perhaps because you have no self-doubt.
Self aggrandizement. Go away. All of you.
I heard him play Ravel’s Tzigane in Amsterdam when he was still RCO concertmaster. Fine playing!!
My notes. Body language, negative and defensive, though he was quite open and interesting in what he talked about. Maybe this was before he announced he would be leaving NYC on the first train out?
A completely forgettable conductor for the NY Philharmonic. I heard one good performance of La mer from him. Goodbye. I wish that John Wilson would replace him.
