[@granttherock9121]

Prokofiev sounds just like I thought he would.

[@yaoselina1374]

He sounds the opposite of what I thought he would

[@mel_163]

I expected him to have a higher voice
Shostakovich was a surprise to me 😳

[@aisywijdan1131]

I expected shosty to have a deeper voice......

[@BreddyBang]

It surprised me as well

[@oritdrimer4354]

He is Harry Potter what did you expect?

[@volt1068]

It threw me off the first time I saw it too, but this recording makes him sound a lot higher pitched. There's a recording on CZcams called Shostakovich Speaks with Rozhdestvensky preserves the sound better, although he his a lot older.

[@Aleksandr_Skrjabin]

I heard exactly what i expected, a nerdy voice.

[@musical_lolu4811]

Why?

[@johnrobinsoniii4028]

Shostakovich and Prokofiev had the clearest voices. And Ralph V. Williams looks like actor Brian Keith!

[@violinistoftaupo]

Those conducting had such personal styles, unlike those of today

[@Love-Is-Kind]

Thank you so very much for these intriguing pieces of these famous historical composers! Thank you, B.B! (Big smile)

[@randompersonh]

the way shosty just finished and quickly turned around then just started speaking like he was on helium kinda creeped me out-

[@christopherthorkon3997]

Just wonderful.

[@ellacielo8518]

Thank you for this! It's so cool! 🥰🥰🥰

[@sebastiendamarey6673]

Ouah Maurice Ravel au piano fantastique !!! et Camille Saint-Saëns à la baguette !!!

[@vintagegoldenage]

this is outstanding!!

[@XontrosInstrumentals]

Sibelius sounds MENACING

[@BreddyBang]

If anyone speaks Russian, please translate what Tchaikovsky said. He doesn’t sound happy 😂

[@titakaatanov7334]

do you have the orig link?

[@BreddyBang]

@@titakaatanov7334 in the video description I put all the links

[@titakaatanov7334]

actually, it doesn't sound Russian, exept first phrase.
but also mb i becoming deaf XD

[@BreddyBang]

@@titakaatanov7334 I forgot this one. Will add it czcams.com/video/7DEEdFLjUiw/video.html

[@BreddyBang]

@@titakaatanov7334 and the quality is very poor

[@TheTurinilla]

Faltan otros compositores como Poulenc, Falla, Turina, Guridi, Mompou, Rodrigo.....seguro que debe haber registros de ellos

[@blibleblabloblu1166]

🤩

[@davedesigning]

I always love how bored Richard Strauss looks when conducting the orchestra. By that time, he'd been doing music for what, 70-80 years?

[@Alisonsgachaverse]

I have a friend who's in love with Shostakovich so I had to send this

[@Electrasound]

The person playing Claire de Lune is not Debussy. It's Suzanne Godenne.

[@violinistoftaupo]

Debussy played that on piano reels.

[@Electrasound]

@@violinistoftaupo He did make piano rolls, but this is not one of them. The roll in this video is by Suzzanne Godenne: czcams.com/video/Hq4WG9vf3_0/video.html

[@mypianoschat9475]

Tchaikovsky?????? what????????? lolll

[@IEEMAZ_Convoluted_14.2.8.5]

You picked almost all Russian (not the whole video was Russian)famous composer nice

[@BreddyBang]

Rachmaninoff is my favorite composer of all time ❤️

[@IEEMAZ_Convoluted_14.2.8.5]

@@BreddyBang I like Rachmaninoff but Liszt is my absolute favorite

[@oritdrimer4354]

Same, I also like Schumann

[@jrexx2841]

Harry Potter

[@Hailey_Paige_1937]

Can anyone who speaks French please translate what Messiaen was saying? I’m very curious!

[@vnesme]

1st excerpt :
(not Messiaen) "...and C ; that is to say, the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 first measures up to the crotchet without breathing, that would be perfect, wouldn't it?"
Messiaen : "if need be, they can breathe after the 4th quaver."
2nd excerpt: "[...], bassoons, contrabassoons, all the deepest timbres of the orchestra. And this theme seems to be welling up from the ground, welling up from the deepness"
3rd excerpt: "[...], clarinet, flute, play this theme melodically, in a quite simple and stripped down way, with no harmonization whatsoever, as a monody."

[@Hailey_Paige_1937]

@@vnesme
Thank you so much!! I appreciate you translating. ☺️

[@bryanpayne3793]

What is the name of the piece that Strauss is conducting after he speaks?

[@davedesigning]

Der Rosenkavalier Waltz

[@davedesigning]

It looks like in the orchestra suite it's the last waltz. (There are a few waltzes before.)

[@Jarchiporz]

What a pitty that there are no women in this video; the footages are great!

[@Jarchiporz]

Thank you for this work.
