Title: Orchestra rehearsal, von Dohnanyi, Haydn
Product review: This is an honest take on orchestra rehearsing--interested in the mechanics of music making, sharing a few of the conductor's conceptual drivers and some of the orchestra's members reactions too. So while it doesn't touch on the higher notes of, say, truth telling through music it does very well at what it aims in title. Throughout the material, the conductor makes several assessments with respect to Haydn's works and his approach towards them. On a subtler note, one gets a glimpse at Christoph von Dohnanyi's personality and character. Good sound, less than great camera work.
