How Todd Field spent hours and hours studying classical music and orchestras before writing his Oscar-nominated screenplay.
Who’s going to win the Oscar for lead actress is one of the questions heading into a ceremony that, God help us, is still five weeks away.I didn’t know a great deal about concert music. Like a lot of people, my introduction to it was through Leonard Bernstein. When you look at the Harvard lectures he gave in the 1970s, he removed all possible pretense and replaced it with love.
So it was essential that the job of conducting have real agency in the narrative and not simply be there as a backstory for something else. Reading “For the Love of Music” by John Mauceri set me on a path. I called John and peppered him with questions based on the book. He stopped me and said, “Read my other books first, then let’s talk.” I did and found myself under the spell of a true master.
Mahler’s Fifth Symphony is a milestone, not just in classical music but in other forms as well. It’s easy to fall in love with the third movement. For years, I’d been obsessed with the subtle nuances of various recordings based on the orchestra, hall and conductor.
