Two professionals evaluate the Oscar nominees who embodied Leonard Bernstein and Lydia Tár.
It has also, inevitably, brought those films’ two lead performances into conversation with one another. Both Cate Blanchett as the eponymous Lydia Tár and Bradley Cooper as the maestro himself, Leonard Bernstein, paint nuanced portraits of conductors with thorny personal lives. Both actors also take center stage in a more literal sense, standing before podiums and waving their arms in front of musicians playing live. Do real conductors think they pull it off? For the most part, yes.
The video of Bernstein doing Mahler is a favorite at conducting camp. “I don’t know how many times I’ve watched that video—dozens,” says Resnick. And Cooper largely gets it right. “It was clear that he put in so much effort and love into it. The big peaks of that video, he actually captured in a way that looked pretty authentic.” Resnick has only small nitpicks.
