subject: [Hornlist] Bernstein in Vienna
Looking for some knowledgeable comments on Lenard Bernstein and the
VPO.
Public TV in Dallas ran a program on Bernstein including his time as
conductor of the VPO. According to the program when Bernstein
tried to
introduce Mahler to the VPO he met with a lot of resistance from its
members and spent a lot of time convincing them it was music worthy
of the
VPO.
Is that an accurate portrayal of the post WWII VPO?
I heard from someone who played in Vienna in the Tonkunstler
Orchestra that the VPO found Mahler to be "too Jewish".
Sincerely,
Wendell Rider
