About the concert
To celebrate his 80th birthday in 2007, Kurt Masur led “his” Gewandhaus Orchestra in a special gala
concert. For his birthday concert, Masur, currently principal conductor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the Orchestre National de France, chose a varied, celebratory programme with works by composers highlighting his conducting career in the United States, France and Germany. Abounding in energy, alert as ever, Masur has been untiringly lending new impulses to the entire orchestral repertoire. From 1970 until 1996 he did so as Gewandhaus Kapellmeister of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, a position that has almost come to be identified with his name. He is still Conductor Laureate of the ensemble; the fact that he chose the orchestra for his birthday celebration expresses his gratitude and respect for the orchestra that accompanied him during momentous and troubled times. Kurt Masur had an eventful life - he was famously swept into politics as a peacemaker when the Berlin Wall was about to fall.

I´m a classical music lover and Disney fan and just discovered this composition was not an original for Fantasia. I don't know why I made that supposition.

Walt knew his ways, no shame in that. There is a world of classical music for all of us to explore :)

Is that a banjo in the orchestra? And, why? (Nicely executed performance, btw.)

And that was conducted from memory, folks. A shame the way he was treated in his last years with the NY Philharmonic.

WHAT DID THEY DO??

He wanted to renew his contract, the public, orchestra and critics adored him, and he loved NYC. However, the orchestra's top management felt differently and moved him out in a sort of backstabbing way, from what I have read and read between the lines. He was hurt by a lack of appreciation and gratitude from top management. Great loss, in my opinion. The nicknamed him the lion tamer. Because he took an orchestra that was filled with individualistic prima donnas, so to say, and brought cohesion and outstanding ensemble playing after several decades of it being otherwise. @@toxiboi5771
