Recently I watched a documentary about Edo de Waart, from a couple years
back.

He talked about the time he won the Mitropoulos conducting competition,
in 1964. As a result of this he got to assist with Leonard Bernstein and
the NYPO for a year. Decades later he was still shocked how bad the
orchestra was back then and how Bernstein was happy with the ugly sound
he created. 'Like a tin bucket'.

Why do I quote this? I think with Bernstein a lot of it is just his
charisma what you're hearing and if you don't buy the charisma it can
happen you hear a tin bucket.
