PT73: “How to Practice without an Orchestra and Learn from Historic Recordings,” with David Hattner
Today David Hattner walks us through the spectacular world of Historic recordings by some of the greatest conductors of the past and what we can learn by studying their interpretations. We dig into some of the most important recordings of Brahms’ 4th symphony, how and why some conductors were different in rehearsal, live performance, and studio recordings, and look at a side of Bernstein as a conductor that you’ve never seen before. We also discuss how David came from a performance background and learned to practice conducting when he wasn’t conducting, how to teach young musicians and youth orchestras to watch a conductor, and an extra special tip on how to use a metronome correctly.
You Will Learn:
- Why young musicians are often the best to judge of the quality of a new piece of music
- George Szell as a leader, musician, interpreter, and teacher
- The most important recordings of Brahms’ 4th Symphony to reveal the range of possibilities in interpretation
- Learning how to learn from historical recordings by conductors alive at the time of Brahms and Tchaikovsky
- The two veins of interpretation in great conductors of the past
- How to teach young musicians and youth orchestras how to watch a conductor
- Why you should isolate and practice basic patterns and techniques of conducting separate from any music
- Why you should always use a metronome, but by putting it on the off-beats instead of on the beats while you practice
- How to practice and improve when you’re not able to conduct regularly
- The incredible music by Dvořák that you’ve never heard of

Beethoven and more podcast #28: Bach meets Brazil
This piece by Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos melds the influences of his home country's music with those of Bach and the classical canon.Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959)
Bachianas Brasileiras No. 4
Sinfonica Heliopolis
Conductor: Peter Guelke
MP3 recorded in the Beethoven Hall, Bonn, on October 6, 2010 by Deutsche Welle (DW)
"The polyphony here is an expression of Brazilian culture and lust for life," said conductor Peter Guelke of the "Bachianas Brasileiras." In these pieces, the Brazilian composer melds the folklore of his homeland with the world of the Baroque. Johann Sebastian Bach's instrumental suites may have served as a model.
The result is a sort of South American-German world music, seemingly custom-made for the energetic young musicians of the Sinfonica Heliopolis, whose rhythmic drive is compelling and sheer joy in playing unlimited.

Beethoven and more podcast #27: The Unfinished
The youth orchestra from the Brazilian slum of Heliopolis performs Schubert's Seventh Symphony, a piece with dimensions that are often overlooked, says conductor Peter Guelke.Franz Schubert (1797-1828)
Symphony No. 7 (Unfinished)
Sinfonica Heliopolis
Conductor: Peter Guelke
MP3 recorded in the Beethoven Hall, Bonn, on October 6, 2010 by Deutsche Welle (DW)
Contrast is the watchword for this symphony performed by the Brazilian orchestra Sinfonica Heliopolis, a work the composer left incomplete.
"The conflict at the center of the piece is between a deeply passionate person and his harsh environment," said conductor Peter Guelke. "But many of us have heard this piece so often that we no longer hear the harshness in it. We think we know it, but we don't."
The theme of passionate resistance to a harsh environment parallels the orchestra's own story. Although many come from disadvantaged backgrounds, the young musicians in Sinfonica Heliopolis receive the financial support necessary to get an education in classical music at the Instituto Baccarelli, founded in 1996 by conductor Silvio Baccarelli.
Following their performance, conductor Guelke introduced two of the horn players to the audience, to thunderous applause. Both less than fifteen years old, the two showed just how young some of the ensemble's members are. But Sinfonica Heliopolis also proves their musical maturity with their rendition of this Schubert symphony.
