Available Subtitles: English, Spanish, French
0:00 1st Rehearsal

This video recording provides us with a portrait of a man whose conducting technique contrasts fascinatingly with that of other conductors in the series. Sir Georg Solti's rehearsal and performance of Wagner's Tannhäuser Overture with the Süddeutsche Rundfunk Symphony Orchestra is a fine illustration of this conductor's insistence on absolute precision, his energetic style and his close familiarity with the score.

Quite amazing how he talks while they’re playing (very efficient), and gives his verbal exhortations just BEFORE they get to that bit so they know right beforehand how he wants it.

@anonymusum 2 жыл бұрын

Talking while rehearsing is normal, as you don´t want to interrupt the whole thing permanently. You only interrupt if there´s a real serious mistake or wrong interpretation or the whole orchestra is involved in that particular part that you want to correct or improve. In general rehearsal time is precious time and you gotta be very productive.

What a fabulous record of a wonderful conductor sharing his vision and technique in getting an orchestra to perform exactly the way he wants them to. It is this what distinguishes one performance from another - and makes a Solti performance so distinct from his contempories who of course have their own styles. It is subjective, some don't enjoy this interpretation over another but that is why we continually have new recordings and ways of presenting the music. For those that think the talking is annoying or somehow dis-respectful of the orchestra - how wrong you are! This is what a rehearsal is about - not to just play the notes but extract the essence of emotion and techniques the conductor wants to project that emotion. A different conductor may want a more languid approach, Solti was always precise and clipped unless the score explicitly said otherwise. It's a masterclass - even for the veterans of the orchestra - and for many it's great to have a conductor who truly inhabits the music instead of just perfunctorily marking time for everyone. Solti was a renouned Wagnerian and you can see why with this recording. The only one of his contempories I would put on the same level was Karl Bohm.

@colleencupido5125 2 жыл бұрын

Routemaster: Correct in every way. A conductor who is so-called "respectful" to the orchestra- If that conductor can't communicate to them something that the orchestra doesn't already know and regularly performs- then that conductor should quit his job and go find honest work.

Like all great conductors: it can ALWAYS be better, super detailed, knows the music inside out. Utterly amazing. I had tickets to see him conduct the Dallas Symphony (he was music director there briefly in the early 60's and this was his first time back). The orchestra had really grown up and has a magnificent concert hall - one of the best anywhere - the Meyerson. I was so looking forward to it. But sadly Solti went to his Great Performance and did not come. I always heard that rehearsals were a beast with him, super hard work, but that he was completely joyful and up beat for the performance.

@phillipecook3227 3 жыл бұрын

He's a Hungarian rehearsing a German orchestra in their own back yard in standard repetoire which they know blindfold yet the level of rehearsal detail he goes into is remarkable. I also never fail to be impressed by the number of top line symphony orchestras in Germany. To my shame I'd never even heard of the " South German Radio Symphony Orchestra" before yet the fact they could attract someone of of Solti's calibre to guest conduct speaks volumes.

Phillipe Coock Every big TV/radio-station in Germany has it´s own symphony orchestra and as they are paying good money those orchestras are one of the favored aims of real good musicians. And by contrast to the opera house orchestras they have less rehearsals and concerts, what means more free time which some use for relaxing and others to teach students and make even more money. All in all those jobs are pretty privileged.

@halross3447 2 жыл бұрын

I agree. The “transformation” you refer to is happening because the orchestra is truly recreating the score. This occurs under the leadership of the great conductors, like Solti, and Fuhrtwangler. Both conductors had their own unique style of stick technique. They always knew the score, and demanded precision from the orchestra. I find it interesting that Sir Georg podium style between the rehearsals, and the performance, doesn’t vary much. A bit more fervor in the performance, to convey what he wants, probably because he can’t do so verbally. Truly, one of the finest conductors, ever.

@Teladian2 2 жыл бұрын

@@halross3447 yes, as an orchestral musician with a degree in music you dont need to tell me what the transformation is. What I am commenting on is how much Solti brings them from one level to another fom first rehearsal to performance. Technically in the first rehearsal they are "recreating the score" as well. Solti qas a master, but he was alao a tyrant on the podium, much like George Szell and Arturro Toscanini, and Furhtwangler were.

Melissa Schroeter except that Solti completed all his studies at the Liszt Academy in Budapest. Born and raised in Hungary until the rise of the Nazi’s forced him to leave because of the persecution of the Jews. Pretty much the entire Jewish population in Hungary was wiped out. Studied under Bela Bartok amongst others. There is a lovely rehearsal space at the academy names after him. The attention to musical detail and musical perfection is a Hungarian trait - I experienced it with every teacher when I studied over there for a year. They expect the best from you all the time.
