Is it kosher to discuss Brahms and Dynasty in the same paragraph? oh well, I am going to go there anyways, I am willing to be that person. I was being semi-productive and listening to some recordings of Brahms' Symphony no. 2, and I came across this one. Not only is it great listening, but I am in love with the aesthetics of the clip. The chandeliers, the white ornate walls, the red in the background, the quality of the video. It is just brimming with kitschy, vintage, late 70s/early 80s Soviet glamor (or what was left of it). love.
Mravinsky, with what I am assuming is the Leningrad Philharmonic
(second movement)
I know he was not the most exciting conductor to watch, but exciting to listen to.He had amazing and subtle technical control over his orchestra, and it worked well.
(in my humble opinion).
also, great cardigan.
Of course I couldn't watch something like that without immediately planning some outfits. You know, to wear to a performance at that concert hall (wherever it is) when I find it/go there (never).Also I couldn't help thinking of Dynasty while watching it, probably because of the red seats and very understated light fixtures. It seems like if the cast found themselves in Leningrad (unlikely), this is where they would hang. So running with the extremely cohesive theme of fading soviet glamor, Dynasty, and spring, voila.
