Ever since I married a classical musician, I have an access to unfiltered reviews of how of classical music and musicians are portrayed in the films and tv shows. Therefore I was eager to hear my wife’s take on Maestro (directed and starred by Bradley Cooper) since its announcement. (Tár was also another fun film to watch & hear my wife’s take on it)
Our conversations on this movie is private, but thanks to YouTube creators, we now can get thorough reviews of the movie by the classical musicians.
“It just does show how difficult it is to actually conduct well.”
Lastly, I was impressed with the actual footage of Leonard Bernstein conducting the London Symphony Orchestra in Mahler’s “Resurrection” Symphony. I would spend years to realize this scene if I was in Mr. Cooper’s shoes as well.
