Yeah, I think that maybe for the telecasts he didn't want people to know or something.

Supposedly Reiner conducted with a very small beat that frustrated players who could not see the stick moving. One guy with the CSO was fired when he brought a telescope to a rehersal and yelled "I can't see the beat."

I find it rather unbelievable how 'modern' i.e. agile and lean this sounds!
A discovery.

Fritz Reiner conducted the orchestra well, he and his musicians played Arrival of the Queen of Sheba with a lot of arragements of dynamic.This is one of the best editions I have ever heard,brilliant.

He was actually a Hungarian and studied with Béla Bartók. But one might say that his conducting resembled, in some sense or other, Klemperer's style.

This is one of those "weird" things about orchestra conductors that non-musicians have trouble with. Even though I'm a former musician I still don't quite understand how it works, but Reiner is a "Germanic Tradition" conductor. It's a style of conducting where the conductor is about one to two beats ahead of the orchestra. Perhaps a better student of classical music than me could explain it but that's the most I know about it.

feels the point feeling and nature of the pice, damn! I need to revise these before sending!

The simplicity is the whole thing with Handel. That was very rare with baroque composers. Ask Mozart, Beethoven, or his contemporary and admirer Old Bach. He writes so simply and so unpretentiously that one simply feels the piece no matter what one's mood towards it is. |
