Re: The right tone for French music

Also a very valid point David. There is a globalized homogeneity.

Although the original post speaks to the stylistic interpretation of specific types of music, a different and equally compelling issue.

But they are results of the same problem.........time, or rather........money.

There is only enough time to "get the notes" in the average rehearsal schedule.

There is a video rattling around on the internet from the 80's where Sergiu Celibidache rehearses and performs (a documentary movie of the event) Gabriel Faure's Requiem.

[one hour.....worth every second of your time]

Celibidache was a HIGHLY sought after conductor of his day and most orchestras would have wanted him to at least guest conduct once. However the BIG hang up was his insistence on almost double the rehearsal time.........AND THAT WAS forty years ago!
