Comments (-͡°-͜ʖ-͡°)
- Gui Porto 🗣 Marin studied under Leonard Bernstein. She was the director of the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra (where I live) and I got to see her conduct a few times. She’s just brilliant.
- TheHunterGracchus 🗣 Interesting. In Seiji Ozawa's memoirs, he said that Bernstein was, in his opinion, overly egalitarian in his approach. Unlike European conductors who would just assert their authority, Bernstein would waste a lot of rehearsal time asking the musicians what they thought. Still, as I get older and listen to more and more of Bernstein's recordings, the results speak for themselves.
- Isaiah Baggett 🗣 Holy crap...folks, this is one of the TOP conductors in the WORLD!!! she's amazing!!!
- NotlobParrot 🗣 RIGHT?? I couldn't believe they got someone of her caliber to do this!
- Katy Liljeholm 🗣 I love that the fact that the conductor of the Radio Symphony Orchestra really likes School of Rock is a fact that I now know!
- Xplayer007 🗣 When Mr. Bean actually does a better job conducting than a character who was supposed to be doing it his entire life (Mr. Holland).
- Diamonddogusa 🗣 Never, ever berate, humiliate or intimidate a young musician. I have met too many who were turned off of music forever because of the trauma of enduring a bully.
- Carter Johnson 🗣 I came here with the hopeful expectation that she would roast everybody, but I left here even more delighted by her balanced, insightful, and generous commentary.
- Triskan As someone with no musical training or experience, it's just a fascinating universe to try and understand ! Thanks for that !
- Katie Procell 🗣
- Salieri: I don't understand!
- Marin: I don't believe that.
- Me a young professional: THANK YOU I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT
- Jabberwockyface 🗣 F Murray Abraham exclaimed "I don't understand!" and "You go too fast!" because Tom Hulce was deliberately skipping lines in order to get a true reaction of confusion and bewilderment out of him. It was not a mistake of the script.
- Archange Camilien 🗣 4:19 you know, I always thought "I don't understand" meant "I don't think that sounds good, what are you thinking?", haha...whether because it sounded too simple, not good enough, etc, he doesn't understand why a genius would want to do whatever Mozart asked him to do...and then when he ponders it internally he suddenly "gets it", he sees why Mozart wanted it the way he wanted...I never thought of it as a matter of Salieri not understanding what musical instructions Mozart was giving him...
- Rachel E 🗣 This was wonderful! I loved the diversity of films and shows she analyzed. That Mr. Bean bit will always be a delight to watch.
