ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 As I do not listen to radio, I will have to wait until there is a live performance somewhere near. The last time I heard Symphony No. 2 was by the London Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Giuseppe Sinopoli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted September 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 It was a first class performance. I still prefer Gilbert Kaplan the amateur musicians performances though. I saw him conduct this symphony in Symphony Hall.The reason that the conductor is there is simple. This is very complex music, unlike the strumming of guitars and jumping up and down shouting. Each conductor brings his/her own interpretation to the work. Many hours of rehearsal are necessary as the conductor instills his idea of the ideal performance into the musicians. On the occasion of the live performance, the conductor finally takes the orchestra through the performance, maintaining correct timings and can also make other adjustments as he goes along. It would be extremely difficult and probably impossible for a large orchestra to stay together properly, unlike three or four guitar strummers, who you wouldn't know were staying in time or not. Pop music has an incessant thump thump beat. The timing during a symphony can change bar by bar, sometime three beats to the bar, then a passage with four beats and so on, the length of time between beats can also differ.Gilbert Kaplan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night there were over 120 musicians and several hundred choristers on stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
