Marin Alsop Is awesome! Truly a testament that talent on a conductor’s podium knows no gender. Bernstein knew this and you can almost see the mentorship instilled in Marin.
Thank you so much for sharing this precious opportunity! It was clear that NOSPR's music changed when the conductor changed. The participants had great potential and Maestro Marin Alsop's advice penetrated their minds. And when I saw it, I was moved too.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great masterclass. Very helpful and very clear in the instructions by M.Alsop. One of the best I have watched in the last months. Thank you for the video.
High time women have broken the ice in conducting the beautiful classics now there can be great turning back to our original traditional music and not just be music just for men. Music and any type is for all races and genders to do anything you want to do with it ! Play or conduct it!! Thanks that things and rights have changed for the freedom of all!! No more music just for the stuck up folks!!
These conductors practice in the mirror and think they look effective. They did not analyze what they’re really conveying. So hard to change in a short lesson. Hope they refer to this video. Alsop is a great conductor and teacher.
*Warning* Hot take that will make everyone mad: Some of this is just hard to watch. I have been under some bad batons. I hated playing under student conductors who took themselves WAY too seriously. I can see some of that.
The fictional (not real!!) character "Lydia Tar" has got nothing to do with anybody in this video. The character Tar was invented by a (very unimaginative) Hollywood movie director called Todd Field.
