Zusammenfassung: | Steinberg was much admired for his sterling musicianship; the breadth of his repertory, which included much contemporary music; the clarity and precision of his technique; his wit and pipe-smoking geniality; and the collegial relationships he established and maintained with his musicians. Steinberg conducted the Boston Symphony Orchestra many times in Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 and No. 8 as well as Symphony No. 55. One is struck at how clean and natural the performance on this excerpt is, without any loss of intensity or excitement. Steinberg is not a manipulator, and although his technique is minimalistic, it is also remarkably full and detailed, and he has the instict of an actor -- every movement he makes, every gesture and every glance, is full of character and expression. He smiles when a detail falls exactly into place. There is a wonderful swing in the trio of Scherzo, and Steinberg uses his elbows as much as his baton to get the point accross -- it looks as if he were on a horseback and using the reins to guide the music. The finale is fast and exciting, but never hard-driven or forced; Steinberg seems to have an internal gyroscope and nothing throws him, or the orchestra, off balance The BSO is a big machine, but Steinberg knows how to turn it on a dime -- he manages shifts and contrasts of tempo without lurching. |
