Conductors react to Tár – Jeremy and Luke discuss this year’s most controversial musical movie

In this episode, Conductors Jeremy Cuebas and Luke Lyons react to Tár, the award-winning 2022 film.

Tár is the story of Lydia Tár, Music Director of the Berlin Phil, whose life starts to spiral out of control after a series of controversial revelations.

In this PT Chat episode, Jeremy and Luke discuss the movie, their favorite parts, and the negative messages it sends.

Part of what makes this movie so great is the depth of research and authenticity in the classical world. The conductor John Mauceri was consulted when developing the script, and the film features lots of real playing by the Dresden Phil.
