In this film, Bernstein discusses his Boston childhood, his musical growth at Harvard and the Curtis Institute, and the influence of great masters like Reiner, Mitropoulos, and Koussevitzky. He shares his feelings on the primacy of tonal music and specular. The spontaneous joy of his Broadway hits, the bold, spiritual quest of his orchestral works, his intensity and vitality as conductor, made Bernstein one of the central figures in twentieth century music. This film is a rare personal portrait

In this volume, Harold Meek, former first horn of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, shares anecdotes and insights about the joys and travails of playing under Klemperer, Koussevitzky, Munch, and others. He also brings together some important information about changes in the instrument itself, including a little-known letter from the great British horn virtuoso, Dennis Brain, about the virtues of different makes of horn. A valuable appendix prints interpretively challenging horn passages from three dozen masterpieces, and evaluates the solutions offered in recordings by various prominent conductors.

Neuware -Mit dem 'Konzert für Orchester' eröffnet Henle die Reihe preiswerter Studien-Editionen nach dem Notentext der Bartók-Gesamtausgabe. Als Bartók im Mai 1943 von Serge Koussevitzky den Kompositionsauftrag erhielt, bedeutete dies nicht nur eine finanzielle Unterstützung, sondern auch einen wichtigen schöpferischen Impuls für den schwer kranken Komponisten. Schon im Oktober lag das fünfsätzige Konzert vor, das Koussevitzky begeistert als 'das beste Orchesterwerk der letzten 25 Jahre' bezeichnete. Auch die ersten Aufführungen im Winter 1944/45 waren sehr erfolgreich. Gleichwohl wurde Bartók zur Fixierung eines alternativen Endes bewogen, das der schon im September 1945 verstorbene Komponist allerdings nicht mehr hören sollte. Bartók-Spezialistin Klára Móricz liefert in ihrer Ausgabe beide Versionen und fasst in einem spannenden Vorwort Geschichte und Überlieferung des 'Konzert für Orchester' zusammen. Ein knapper Bemerkungsteil informiert über die wesentlichen Grundlagen der Edition.Mehr zu dieser Ausgabe im Henle-Blog. 159 pp. Englisch, Französisch, Deutsch
