I have to believe when people dislike the Berliner videos they are either jealous because they can't play in this orchestra or possibly just upset because they only watched a small clip of the entire performance. I mean come on...this orchestra is a magnificent gift to the planet.

Seiji Ozawa is a very talented and cute conductor

Amo a Seiji Ozawa, le pone la vida a cada obra.

A masterly performance by all concerned. There is an alternative available on Youtube of Ozawa conducting this in Japan with Argerich as the soloist. - Magical!

The orchestra I play at (cello) added this to our repertoire for recent concerts, I just can't wait to play it with our chorus! Wish me luck :D

Dieses Stück ist einfach so ähnlich wie Zauberflöte. Wahnsinn!

I have fond memories of performing this piece with the Avondale Conservatorium.
