In rehearsal: Simon Rattle conducts 6 Berlin school orchestras 

What piece are they playing at first 3 minutes

@@siti4063 Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 by Edvard Grieg Movement 4 “In the Hall of the Mountain King”

Yes

Like when he said: "StarWars BattleDroid", "somebody has to play, ok so.", "Welcome to my Life".

@@Blue_The_Protogen. Es ist unglaublich Britisch. Es ist so "God save the queen".

I do too. They are a teacher to perfect the sound of the orchestra and set tempo

Yes. The conductor's real work is in the rehearsals.

@TheBrabon1 That depends on the piece they are playing, and how may times they have played it. In a familiar piece, the orchestra could often play without a conductor. Eighty percent or so of a conductor's work is done in rehearsal.

I still don't get it... When I see the orchestra, they are not looking at the conductor...

@@cymaticCS There's two things to keep in mind here. Only the instruments that are about to play would be looking to him, and they are almost always watching him with their peripheral vision. That's one of the reasons conductors often look like they are flailing about crazily; so you can see his movements. BELIEVE me, they are watching him(or her) for tempo, volume, and exact points of entry.

I think I woud've peaked right there

He’s a Legend for sure

The conductors who are really good get that way because they have been at both ends of the baton. I don't know if a person can even conduct, or conduct well, if they haven't been conducted.

I was in the British Youth Symphony Orchestra when Rattle was playing timps had no idea he would be such a superstar

That's a very important skill. The musical education of these students is surely very different. You don't want to frustrate them too fast. So as a person who keeps the "things" together he chooses that method to reach the goal: a presentable played piece of music.

Hans M it helps when you speak German because if you only speak English everything sounds like criticism... I’m learning German so it’s obvious that it’s not critical speaking

​@MrBadabimBadabum Dude what are you even complaining about. This thread is praising the effectiveness of Sir Rattles constructive criticism. Seeing problems and creating conflict where there isn't any is pretty much the definition of a snowflake

@@nicholasscott9672 hahaha. Well said! He is another SJW

NONE Nothing to do with SJW. This is how rehearsing any musical group should be done.

Hello, I have new channel, I post about music, all about music. can you please take a glance?

So perfectly agree with this luminous observation. Made my week

A Matt I was thinking the exact same thing.

In 1963 I went to see my uncle play at his rehearsal. I was very young and in those days children were not permitted at a performance of a major symphony orchestra. But sometimes, especially if they were related to a member, they could attend a rehearsal. I was visiting my uncle and aunt for a weekend so I sat in the audience with my aunt as they rehearsed. All the musicians are sitting there in casual attire which meant sweatshirts, jerseys, red flannel shirts and unkempt hair. So out from behind the orchestra from backstage marches up this tall figure wearing white tie and tails. He looked nearly like someone from a previous century, he was almost certainly born in the previous century. His nearly white hair was combed back slick and tucked under the collar of his jacket. He ascends the podium, clears his throat, taps his baton, flipped through the pages of music, gesticulated for a moment then the orchestra came to life. Before the fifth note his waist length nearly white mane was all over the place as though he had put his finger in a light socket and there it remained for the entire duration of Van Beethoven's 9th symphony as though suspended in mid air. After the conclusion of the piece my uncle stood up and whispered in his ear, the conductor then turned around, his hair finally settling down about his shoulders and looked me in the eye and in a heavy German accent, with a twinkle in his eye, he said "Yunk man, das ist da longist standingk ovation I hast evah rezeeved!" I had stood for the entire performance often jumping up and down and clapping my hands like any preschooler. It was the most exciting experience of my early childhood and pretty much my earliest lucid memory. I think I was maybe about three. I can't remember what my uncle looked like it was so long ago but I will NEVER forget the fierce almost beastly look between his expression and hair all juxtaposed with his white tie and tails. Oh and his tails moved around as much as his hair.

The most talented musicians always have funky hair, it’s pretty cool to notice how a lot of musicians in general have messy hair

@@nunyabiznez6381Like shit im reading that

That is quite alright. My post, like Beethoven's symphonies, was not intended for people with short attention spans

Antonella Beretta I know right.

MAHLER SHAMPOO.

Antonella Beretta my conducter is almost left without hair lol

Say that to Steven Isserlis

I think that is obligatory when you enroll in the conductor study at the conservatory. Without the right coup they are not going to admit you.

Same man. Engineering isn’t as interesting as this

Cevin CHurch Music provides such a precarious living for so many, that I think you have made an excellent practical choice. Your professional services will probably be needed so long as you are able to offer them. Medicine is more than just an ornament of culture, dispensable during a pandemic. Go on enjoying your music however. God has created us with a capacity to produce it and enjoy it, not only for our own sakes but also for His glorification. Music is inherent to the mathematical relationships which govern the created universe.

@Richard Wagner You display as little sense as your antisemitic namesake, who loved pagan mythology and became an inspiration for the Nazi movement. God can heal WITH or WITHOUT the agency of doctors. Remember, it is GOD Who gave doctors the chemical, biological, and mental tools to work effectively. They did not CREATE the fungi necessary for the production of penicillin, did they? On the other hand, medical science is imperfect, sometimes misguided, and INVARIABLY fails in the end: 'FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH......' (Romans 6:23a) I have witnessed a handful of cases and heard of many, many more where PRAYER was effective in healing an injured or diseased person in the absence of medical assistance. In one case the doctors expected a woman to die of a brain aneurysm, but fellow church members prayed for her, and she was released HEALTHY after several days with NO medical procedures necessary.

Was in band in middle school, it was awful

it is a privilege to play in a orchestra and a lot of people studying music for decades can't make a living out of it, propably only a few of the musicians here in this orchestra are good enough to actually play in a orchestra in the future, its a hard life to make money with classic music, but playing music just for fun can be really cool.

+SinisterMinister And that's why you rehearse.

Good Night these are ordinary High School Orchestra, I think they are doing very well

@@mathildewesendonck7225 should be the best of Berlin

@@thaliarice3891 You have obviously not listened to many youth orchestra rehersals :-)

i could not agree more but a french horn was out of tune in the intro and also since im a trombonist myself (played F attachment and non F "no tubing inside the main wrap" that none of the trombones used the trigger at the end) but other then that it was good

yes also during concert cues from a conductor is very important

Yeah cause players are most of the time just "players", they dont have the FEELING for the music

The conductors job is in the rehearsal

@@Ali-kp7bh They do. I’m sure all orchestra players do just fine in solo repertoire (barring percussionists lol). It’s just, a conductor can make sure everyone is on the same page tempo, phrasing, and dynamic wise

@@Aaron-ou5mw as a percussionist, ive never been more offended over something i completely agree with

Pro of Piano: You can play a lot by yourself because you have so many voices and such a wide range. Con of Piano: You have to play a lot by yourself, because a piano is rarely needed in bigger groups, and jf there is a piano, there probably already is a pianist better than you

@Tony Wang rofl, hello from Latvia. We don't even have this in entire country.

For any kids reading this, there are some opportunities somewhat like this: many big cities (at least in the US where I live) have Youth Orchestras that are of a higher caliber than your reg school orchestra. For example I live in Milwaukee and around here it’s MYSO. Do some research because there may be opportunities like this around you. (Compared to a regular school orchestra).

Maxion version 1: "1st attempt" without simon rattles Instructions Version 2: After rattle taught them

And he's not doing it in his native language. OK his German is far from perfect (it's about the same level as mine!) but he makes a real effort.

@Richard Wagner OK Richard, maybe you don't like the guy but since Brexit he has taken up residence in Berlin and acquired a German passport so his commitment to Germany is beyond any question. At least he makes an effort with the language which is more than many Brits do and now that he's a permanent resident hopefully his language skills will improve to your exacting standards.

@Richard Wagner Your comparison shows your ignorance and disability to understand a persons purpose. Not all basket ball players are going to be like Michael Jordan. Now imagine calling them lazy because of it, sounds quite petty and stupid if you ask me. I’d love to see you up there, it would be an honor. Then l can complain that you can’t speak 4 languages fluently 😂

@Richard Wagner Also dude your comment history is trash. All you do is complain on this channel. I suspect your illness to come from self projection and lack of fulfillment. Typical bully mentality, whatever is going on with you and your life I can assure you those issues will not be cured by posting negative comments on RU-vid grow a pair of balls kid and talk with a therapist.

Max Pankau 👍👍👍👍👍 I totally agree with ya.

In my experience conductors tend to be lovely like that. Have you seen Conrad Pope working?

And his German is hilarious xD Even more with the wrong subtitles...

I don't understand. Why is he so lovely ? Why are people talking so nice about this man ? Are rest of conductors assholes ?

SInisa Stojadinovic not all but a lot can be. Look up Sir Mark Elder. I’ve been conducted by him and he could be quite harsh at times. Unnecessary insults rather than just straight musical criticism. The most famous one in my orchestra was “are you trying to ruin the performance?” said to the organist (we were playing a piece which needed organ)

Many of the musical terms he was throwing out are well known and not German.

NorZea you don't say

I am Singing in a Semi Pro Chorus for 10 Year. (Opera,Musical , Operetta, Movie Song and old German Ufa 30th ) and we have play in Hamburg with a Big Orchestra. I now how difficult it cut be. "In the Hall of the Mountain King" is difficult , especial at the End whre it get furioso fast. The Point at 3:41 Min where Stopped ,was a typical difficult. The last notes where 3 long and getting low ,so the reaction was instant to Accrelate was to hold the Speed or even get lower.

When you are in the youth orchestra, this is a treasured golden moment. Such a treacherous piece.

There’s a Japanese animated show called Nodame Cantibile. You can watch it subbed or dubbed but it’s pretty relaxed and lighthearted show that focuses on the journey of a young man aiming to be a professional conductor in the classsical music world. There’s no big drama but something perhaps worth investing in as he is also constantly clashing with a young women with a very different approach to classical music. The story focuses more on her character and the development on their relationship with music and with each other. I highly recommend it.

Well not really you just might not know how important they are on stage. Simplest form to see why they matter is to pick your favorite music and record yourself humming the music as close as you can to the original without playing g it in the background or listening to it first. Then play both at the same time. Depending on your memory you will see that is not quite there. then imagine 100 people having to sync this way without any indication of tempo over a complex composition of musical pieces. Add to it that you can interpret music in many different ways and the result is well... this video is a very good example.

@fleeplayTV what do you mean "not really".....the OP is basically saying the exact same thing as you. They are recognising that the incredible work of the conductor is lost to most of the audience in a live performance as they all they see is the final product of an evolutionary process.

80 to 90% of a conductors job happens during rehearsal. During that time they will make any changes regarding tempo, volume, repeats, etc trying to get the piece as close to their vision as possible. Keep in mind most of the time their are no original recordings of the pieces they are preforming. So most of the time we don't know the composer's vision of the piece all we have are manuscripts. Then during the performance a conductor is their to keep time, give cues, determine the length of fermatas, and determine the speed of crescendos and diminuendos.

HAHAHAH YES!

mindcode,penelope:.....it is interesting because this is the real work, the insiders view so to speak, of orchestral music. This effort to make things ever better, to polish them until they shine, is what makes musical interpretation fascinating...........and the most interesting part here is that they actually do it better after a bit of rehearsing.

Of course it sounds terrible in comparison, but still not bad for bunch of 16 year old kids. Rattle didn't expect them to play like professionals.
