one person has forgotten the danny boyle's new film. see how this plays out. without further ado it's a great pleasure to welcome maestro gonna here in the studio with me my special guest who needs no introduction to long term d.w. views because of classical masterpieces the d.v.d. box set of 6 of the world's great symphonies now it was made all over a decade. later they were they were great shows on all on the t.v. and there was great d.v.d. box set and i think you choose did you choose the symphonies that were to be used. it was the result of a dialogue with deutsche avella we went through a series of suggestions and i would say it was more of a consensus that this group of composers could give at the same time a very long perspective of classical music and at the same time offer some profundity yeah and do you have

a favorite putting on the spot of all those seventies i must save that in the end all of the choices the it was from among my list. each one of those projects were very very special it finished with the bruckner. symphony and so i would have to say of course as a combination that stands out and my memory yeah they were very quirky sort of things in that it wasn't just the symphonies you explain things that was cartoons in that you think that's a good way to promote classical music i don't. really you know the main thing is that classical music actually has as a content that is not tied to fashion it's not tied to mold it's not tied to any particular. moment of time these are timeless masterpieces and they establish their relevance for generation after generation i think what we tried to do was to try to speak to a range of populations different different backgrounds different ages but it was

definitely tied to that particular moment was the early part of 2 thousands i haven't seen these. these projects in quite a while i would be interesting to see how meant how much of it translated to 2019 ok stay with us for people who don't know you so well we have a very brief look back now at your career is. ever gonna grew up on a farm in california without television movies or even a record player instead there was a piano he started conducting a church choir at the age of 8 the son of an architect and a microbiologist he studied music and biology before moving to europe his career

has taken him to leave manchester berlin munich and hamburg for the 67 year old the world of sound is his home. the world of sound is your home said that i was interested to ask you when i was home because i actually before i looked i thought you were a european not in the in the last few years when i 1st got to know it's interesting that you point that out because like. for everyone. we never stay in the same place of the same time and relieve this mentioning of the small farm that i grew up on on the on the pacific coast that california doesn't really exist anymore california has evolved and become very very different today is that as it should so. us where i feel at home where home is i must say that it is where sound is it is where music is and that's where the family is and i think for most people that's probably true you would cheat

conductor of the duchess symphony orchestra 2000 to 2006 i remember it well i remember i remember it because you blew away a lot of cold webs i thought oh you played a lot of contemporary music brought a lot of younger people i thought to music but recently i saw you in an interview saying that you felt that good music wasn't like accessible enough why is this or is it getting more accessible you know. some whole things got lost in translation sometimes when you hear classical music is not accessible enough the impulse is to think that there's a problem with classical music but actually the problem is not with mozart there is no problem with your hans about. this is perfection as far as it's that exists as far as thinking as far as humanity is concerned i know that the problem is actually simply in our modern world. to have the exposure to classical music so that

particularly the younger generation who are at a disadvantage from say my generation where we were exposed regularly to classical music within the school curriculum within the church curriculum. today it's much more difficult in our new lifestyles. to have a connection unless it comes from the family and that's more what i meant there's really. as far as the great masters of our composition of our repertoire they are completely accessible this is the most profound form of humanity that we can have let's pause for some music let's have a listen to beethoven's 9th and the end of mony a very significant concert a couple of years ago. it.

was quite an audience that was the of course the g.

20 leaders old i want to ask you that was in the aisle for the money which you now perform quite a lot with the of that the stop sopa and the orchestra hamburg. the acoustics the has been some criticism how do you find the acoustics. well it's our home and we find the acoustics. extraordinarily good. that is however with advantage of having it as a home playing there regularly. having the time to really develop a relationship with the special characteristics of the whole but it's for the whole is is very very honest and communicative it really helps communicate exactly the content of what it is you're trying to share so it depends on how how you play but we find. we find the acoustics extraordinary ok we're going to have to leave it there fortunately but very briefly if there was

a world with about what would you do. i'm not sure if it would be worth living in the world but it was a loaded question thank you very much. you very shortly is duddy borel's new film yesterday boyle is a wonderful films like trainspotting and slumdog millionaire stories that you might not think of as a potential film scripts but he makes them work this new film seems to be no different and his screenwriter this time is richard curtis of love actually so here's the premise everybody in the world has forgotten the beatles. music except one lucky musician. this is jack now its entire audience. is like a miracle it was. a miracle may not look like when it 1st . what happened. was the effect of all over the world it's unlikely

that exact moment of it but. but apparently that's not all that happened in his 1st major role actor himesh patel discovers the universe has changed. oh my. grief you know you. got the right say the beatles hit is one of the greatest songs ever written it's not called play so you can't believe that he wouldn't really and has questions he's friends quite rightly it's nobody thinks you coward is a great great well call it. somebody suddenly got very cocky. google obviously because word do you go. to google the gold the equivalent of gold to find there is this true and of course there's nothing on google. it was

a regular basis. so what's he to do he sets about trying to remember all the beatles songs. so i. could start oh very pretty and he soon becomes an international star we should talk see we say and you write songs and then you make a ton. and then we take most of it. jack even gets a little help from a real pop star in fact ed sheeran is more than just a cameo in the film this will act strapped to your leg at school and i was wondering if you consider how long the minutes maximum. going to rest on the g.g. is that the truth of matter is that in some ways this film was about it. insofar as it's a dad who hasn't succeeded hasn't succeeded at 1st but stardom does come calling

for jack even though he hasn't earned it and only he knows he's a phony i know that she was school teacher and actually. it's great that. you probably got all as yesterday hits the big screen moviegoers around the world will have to see can jack get his love life sorted out and will the beatles classics all make it through ok. let me just give you this advice write songs. on charge your banker as well hey. hey. hey dude you sure he's right. so much better is he. do you like music do you like the beatles i love the beatles but i wouldn't call them pop music exactly i gotta thanks very much because we've both got to go die because we're both going to see

a film i think thank you all for watching more about pentagon our danny boyle's film and last small sum culture on our web site at d.f.w. dot com slash culture and on facebook culture.
