About Bernstein in Vienna: Beethoven, The Ninth Symphony
To play Beethoven's music is to give oneself over completely to the child-spirit which lived in that grim, awkward, violent man. Without that utter submission it is impossible to play the Adagio of the Ninth. Or, Heaven knows, the first movement. And the Finale? Most of all! It is simply unplayable unless we go all the way with him, as he cries out "Brüder!" - Leonard Bernstein
Directed by Humphrey Burton, Bernstein in Vienna: Beethoven, The Ninth Symphony leans on a strong ensemble — Plácido Domingo, Gwyneth Jones, Martti Talvela — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about music titles of 1970.
