R.I.P. Seiji. I got to see him conduct a clinic at Cal-State Hayward in 1971. Never will forget. Here he is conducting my favorite composer. For the ages.

Grande Ozawa, una perfetta esecuzione del Sacre. Ho avuto la fortuna di vedere Ozawa a Boston nel 1987 dirigere Beethoven (5 concerto con Perahia) e la premier della 7 di Henze!

Not a perfect video, but no one does Le Sacre du Printemps better than Seiji Ozawa. Thanks for sharing.

Non solo la migliore interpretazione della "Sagra" di tutti i tempi ma una delle più grandi performance della storia della direzione.

Pity, this upload is ruined by so many audio glitches. ☹️

Still, Seiji Ozawa’s conducting technique is breathtaking to watch.

ストラヴィンスキーは小澤さんを評して [ 全身音楽だ ] と言ったそうです。まさにその通りですね。

J'ai écouté les versions de Boulez, Bernstein, Barenboim, Haitink, Salonen, je pense que si Strawinsky avait vécu assez longtemps, c'est l'interprétation qu'il recherchait: expérimentale mais sauvage animale vicieuse d'une précision extrême, et parfois romantique

[lyolevrich]

please someone could tell me if is there someone now (!) some of the "young every time smiling conductors" able to conduct a sacre in this way? you can see the entire orchestra trust him!! this is a conductor he was not endless smiling during his conducting he was simply great and incredible gifted man:but he was also incredible serious thinking to do really the best!

24:11 of all the places to have an audio glitch...

[PaulJones-ojkr]

He takes time with the lyricism without allowing for romanticism. Solti does the same. Salonen is exciting, but too Scandinavian, too Bernstein, too histrionic. Seiji, I remember when he first went to Boston. Electrifying. This is a great can always count on Ozawa to ignite the music. Here he gets the score sounding transparent the way Solti did with Chicago. Plus, Ozawa's terrific technique as the first-rate.

L unico interprete emozionante ( Ozawa ) Strawinski lo avrebbe scelto come l ideale ) grazie from Italia

[allonepeople]

Don't know if its my equips/which otherwise seems fine, but this video if full of audio skips and distortion, like blown speaker vibration os something, doesn't happen elsewhere..Nice Directing...but

[bonniebrauer]

Wonderful comments, & he uses no score!

[ondrejsedo]

Not a very good tam-tam choice, as the only remark to this brilliant interpretation.
