About "Commemorating Lorin Maazel":
Lorin Maazel's life story did not end as the child prodigy who made his debut at the age of nine. Lorin Maazel, as an adult, continues to enchant and enthral the musical world with his multifaceted talent, such as his photographic memory for scores and highly praised baton technique. In this five-part tribute commemorating Lorin Maazel, we will learn more about this extraordinary musician as he recalls his musical endeavours and most important musical engagements throughout his career. The vlogs are narrated by Jon Tolansky with commentaries by Gerald Schubert (Principal Second Violin of Wiener Philharmoniker) and Dr. Clemens Hellsberg (former Violinist & Chairman of Wiener Philharmoniker).
