a mic on the podium - Un podcast de Michael Seal

Catégories:

Mark Stringer himself said, at the end of our chat, ”Good luck editing that down to a manageable length” - well, after over a year of waiting, I have. It is the longest episode so far BUT it is full of great anecdotes, wisdom and advice for any aspiring conductor! He talks candidly about the ”Faustian bargain” he took early in his career, we have a disagreement about whether you need to play the piano to be a good conductor, and I hear why one particular oboist’s scowling face was not for the reason he thought it was!
