I remember hearing one of Steinberg's performances of Beethoven's 9th Symphony on the radio years ago...I have to say I think it's the very best I've ever heard. Love it!
As a teenager in the 1950s-early '60s, I was gifted with exposure to classical music and opera performances by the Pittsburgh Symphony under William Steinberg's leadership. Amazing man, amazing memories, splendid music. This documentary is a Treasure.
Frank Gardner, Marty didn't mean that kids don't change in the fact that they grow up and old. I think he was saying that the faces of kids are kids' faces, and the faces of kids in general look pretty much the same even though they're born a few years earlier or later -- kids will always be kids and will always look like kids while they are still kids. You didn't pick up that meaning, did you? I think he was comparing the kids of his time with whom he went to school and the kids of today, and noting that kids in general really don't change that much. Marty was very intelligent. Of course he knew that kids grow up and old (IF they're lucky).
in the video it shows MAZ hitting the homerun to WIN the 1960 world series......HOWEVER....it shows the ball going into the stands......He hit it over the Scoreeboard in left field
He's screeching and groaning so much how can hear what the orchestra produces? I consider him mildly talented and interpretatively completely out of question. The misprint is often wrong in his head. Somehow nice that he could laugh about it, but that doesn't help the music.
@@msroper5287 I felt thrown back to some snob critic from the Victorian Age in the wording of your defense of this conductor. I am at least certain the orchestra members tried to do their best at the real concert - relieved as they must have been that the vocal part had finally been deleted. Why are you so proud of knowing the work well enough to go on? I do too. Millions of others do as well. In the end it is the result that counts, I guess - most of Steinberg's results (Bruckner, Mahler, Mozart, Beethoven) were (in my humble opinion) atrocious. And Mahler's message was odd? By the way, Hermann Scherchen in 1950 and Hans Rosbaud in 1953, Klemperer, Neumann, Solti - I bet there were some others till Steinberg came into it years later.....
@@TheBartok44 Oh, please do let us know when you conduct Mahler 7 with a capable professional orchestra. We are all holding our collective breaths. Millions of us.
How fantastic it is! Can I share this by reposting your channel on a nice platform named Gan Jing World? For sure that I will not change anything. If you are fine with that, please let me know. Thank you
My favorite tv show of all time ! I'm 60 and I miss you Mr. Rogers ! What can I say pops ? Rip your missed ! Both of you are entertaining the angels in heaven ! 💑
I sang with the Mendelssohn Choir for about ten years, both as a volunteer and in the professional core. An experience like none other; Bob Page is an experience like none other, and I am eternally blessed to have had his guidance and tutelage.
This is brilliant. Brings back so many memories. A brilliant man. Indeed he was insistent, but a kind man as well. He reminded me very. much of my grandfather, very formal (Steinberg as he was called by many of his closest colleagues) yet warm. His struggles in 1930s Germany should be better known.
I think 🤔 she’s trying to be funny...? I don’t know why it’s bothering me, but I’m ready to fight for Mr Rogers 😂 she said you didn’t need to tell me I knew that...excuse you!
This interview is unusual in the disruptive, almost hostile attitude. He asks "Is it alright if I call you Jane" Her (abrupt): "Is it alright if I call you Mister?" She references a commencement speech he gave and asks, incredulous, if young adults might still be watching. - He explains a wide range watch his program. - Her (condescending): "Actually, you didn't need to tell me that. I already knew that"
Aww guys, I don’t think she meant it that way. It’s just a mix of her personality and interviewer persona. In some cases, yes there are rude interviewers, but in her case, I can tell it was benign. She really liked and appreciated Fred. Some people are a little rough around the edges - in fact, I’d say most of us are, in our own different ways! ❤ Unless we’re conscious of it, we tend to filter the world through our own lens/experiences, and I feel like you might be projecting your own interpretation onto her. The interviewer was trying to be witty - even if some people didn’t like it - but you can tell she does adore Fred from her energy and body language.
When was this game? I'm asking this because the scorebug at the top looks different than what would be used until 2008. It may be an early version of the scorebug, or maybe it's just something FSN Pittsburgh used. Also, this was at a time when the Washington Nationals were pathetic. That's certainly changed in the past few years.
Thanks for uploading this. The rehearsals shown are preparation for the concerts of November 3 and 5, 1967 (not 1966) in the Syria Mosque. This feature, part of the NET Festival series, was first aired in the spring of 1968.
