jmc's classics
The Oscars was las week. One of the films was "Tar". It is about the fictional conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic. I have not seen this film. It is too long for me. Not only that it appears to be somewhat creepy for me. The main character which is the conductor is a female. The Berlin Philharmonic along with the Vienna Philharmonic are among the greatest orchestras in the world. It featured Mahler's Fifth Symphony. I am not in to Mahler's music. Also excerpts from Elgar's Cello Concerto are also in the film.
This movie did not get Best Picture. Many of the films that do are ones that nobody watches. There are many good films with classical music themes. The CD from the movie is on the Deutsche Grammophon label. I usually do not watch awards shows. I am not in to long movies.
