Просмотров 6116 часов назад
#MTT80 // Born on this day in 1912, John Cage created his Song Books as a way for performers to co-create a piece together. MTT, Joan LaBarbara and Jessye Norman discuss their approach before a 2012 @sfsymphony performance for the Cage centennial. Also for the Centennial, MTT and the New World Symphony produced the festival “Making the Right Choices: A John Cage Celebration.” You can watch all ...
Meditations on Rilke

“There's a big song of my life that I’m hearing all the time, and there are elements in my MEDITATIONS ON RILKE which refer to streams of music that have had great meaning for me. The fifth song, 'Imaginärer Lebenslauf' ('Imaginary Biography'), is a duet that was inspired by working with mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke and baritone Ryan McKinny, who premiered the piece with the San Francisco Symphony...

MTT on "From the Diary of Anne Frank"
Просмотров 61Месяц назад
“I wrote ‘From the Diary of Anne Frank’ for and with Audrey Hepburn. Audrey had always imagined an orchestral piece with Anne Frank’s words. Audrey had grown up in occupied Holland, was the same age as Anne Frank, and strongly identified with her. We’re so lucky to have @IsabelLeonardNY narrate the piece on this record. I can’t think of anyone that has a more beautiful and flexible voice that r...

Sarah Vaughan and Michael Tilson Thomas rehearsing Gershwin

Today (March 27, 2024) would’ve been the fabulous Sarah Vaughan’s 100th birthday. I was so fortunate to get to work with her on a number of projects, including our 1982 recording of Gershwin Live! with the LA Phil, which won her the GRAMMY for Best Jazz Vocal Album, Female. Here we’re working on Gershwin’s “Sweet and Lowdown.” She was gone too soon, but all the music she left is a gift. #sarahv...

sweet and lowdown. awesome
Is there a recording of the interview?
What a voice and Maestro Tilson Thomas has always been a great musician and a sexy kind person
Too much noise and nothing of music
❤❤❤
I AM a professional and I still wouldn’t try this at home…
Michael, I hope your feeling ok! We need you so desperately in these worrisome times! With much love and endless appreciation.
I could listen to and watch MTT for hours, in the same way that I could with Leonard Bernstein and André Previn.
That dark green dress goes well with her.
TED brought me here ≒
This is brilliant! I love MTT and he's such a wonderful musician and man to listen to! Thanks a lot!
Is that Santa Monica? I lived on 17th Street and San Vincenti, very close to where Ghery now lives. How I wish I could have met and befriended these giants!
0:47 love this part. I would love to see the finale of the last movement as well.
Thanks for posting this. I could watch MTT all day. I love the enthusiasm and joy which emanates from him on the Podium. His gesture to the horns before their wild trills - Mahler is always good to us horn players - was brilliant. His recordings of the complete Mahler Symphonies with the SFSO are amongst the best on the planet! Bravo to all!
yeah but you should hear mozart play it. apparently.
Космическая скорость! В каком темпе должен работать мозг? 😊
Always good to hear from MTT. Hoping to be at the LSO Mahler 2 in London later in the year!
Simply amazing. jw
Патрясающе
Yuja Wang est ce qui est arrivé de mieux pour nous et la musique ces dernières années. Sa prestance, son maintien devant le clavier, sa virtuosité, sa façon de faire de la musique avec gourmandise et rigueur, sans effet de manche ni posture inutile, un vrai bonheur.
Difficult to play composition, but hardly what you could term as music is it ? I love Yuja and on the human side of life, I hope she gets over ok her recent break up with her former boyfriend Klaus Mäkelä.
I love MTT's Mahler. His recordings with the SFSO - not to forget his much earlier ones of Symphonies 3 and 7 with the LSO - are stupendous, especially when played on my Blu-ray player. He is such a great educator as well, following on from his mentor Lennie Bernstein. Great that he's still conducting after his health traumas. He is a major force for good in this evil world!
Hymn to Palestine
amazing
What a joy to watch MTT see his composition spring into glorious life
A happy birthday to James brown! 🎤🎶
Sorry, a bit to mechanical for me.
The music composition , wonder what Chopin would have made of that ?
That comment is worth a hardy guffaw. Mechanical indeed.
en passat.. sehr Gut!
❤❤❤
Owns every composition she performs..truly a generational talent!
this woman is not human. she is from a more advanced species. we can look at her like an ape would look at us
When I say this, it's real talk. Im currently 54 years old, and Sarah Vaughan has been my favorite artist of all time. Not being overly dramatic but before I pass away, seeing the full concert of your production Gershwin Live with Sassy would be a Dream Come True ❤❤❤
Keep the tissues handy for this one folks~
i love watching this lady, her face is so animated, like she's talking to the piano.
Actually she is making love with the piano
Молодец Шедеврально
Sublimeee, Maravilloso!!!❤👏👏👏
What a voice! What musicians! Sometimes I wonder what other time period I would like to have been born in, but things like this make me think that I lucked out pretty damn good.
Thank you, great conductor! fabulous! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This is breathtaking!
(Almost as good as your delivery of Chopin's 2nd Concerto with Yuja Wang!)
I wish MTT would write more.
The performance is superb. The piece is as well. First time I've heard Thomas's own music. Bernstein and Copland figure into this, but that's a good thing, especially since Thomas has the composing chops to bring it off.
Wow! Jacques Pépin, a true Renaissance man… he is a gift to the world.
Should have been a singer.
Look at the expression on her face.
She likes to play speedy fast music
RUclips should change the comment section to the "fawning" section.
Inspired performance.
Mind boggling playing. Wow!
Beautiful, generous, and confident, she spends countless hours practicing the piano every day. She plays the piano so freely on the stage. Her immortal hands create such beautiful music.
This piece is bullshit. It suggests nothing. It's like an exercise.
