As you can see in this candid video, conductor Leonard Bernstein\u00a0asks the trumpets for a cleaner, more open sound, which they quickly contest. He tries to describe the sound, but they clearly aren&#8217;t having it. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think we ever did that,&#8221; one player responds.\u00a0Lennie holds his ground, &#8220;Don&#8217;t you hear the difference?&#8221; &#8220;No,&#8221; they respond&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The sound is clearly different, and in our opinion much improved. One can only guess as to why they didn&#8217;t hear the difference. Perhaps their proximity to the sound is too close? What do you think?<\/p>\n<p>Update:<\/p>\n<p>A\u00a0reader has alerted us to another incredible video with a very irritable and exhausted Bernstein in rehearsal with Jose Carreras (West Side Story). It ends with Carreras visibly upset\u00a0and storming out after the union rep. steps in to announce the rehearsal time with the orchestra had run out.<\/p>\n<p><span data-reactid=\".d2.1:4:1:$comment827091814045052_827118044042429:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.0.0.0\">(Special thanks to Diane Gibson Nelsen ).<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/z85iqfprcRI?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<p><strong><em>#LUDWIGVAN<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Want more updates on Toronto-centric classical music news and review\u00a0before anyone else finds out?
