A talk by Benjamin Zander.
A few months ago, my wife was treated to a presentation by Benjamin Zander. She was so impressed that it inspired a very long discussion at home that night – in particular his “one-buttock playing” concepts. This basically a metaphor for “playing on the edge” – not getting too comfy, sitting on your haunches and being lazy in your musical efforts.
Mr. Zander is the charismatic conductor of the Boston Philharmonic and is a brilliant motivational speaker. In this 20-minute video my candid opinion of his Chopin is that it is a bit spastic, but he passionately illustrates great ideas on big picture concepts. There is a certain child-like wonder to Zander that is very refreshing.
