Bernstein was transcendent. There are no words in any language to truly describe how great he really was.
Frankly, this is the most extraordinary Bernstein rehearsal video I ever saw. Take in mind that at in 1989 he was only 71 years of age and a year later he was dead. His didactic capacities were enormous, as well as his love of the music. One of the greatest conductors of the 20th century. He will be always remembered...
He was filmmaking with music. Extraordinary.
What a man
This was the pivotal experience in my life that inspired my career as a performer/educator. Thank you, Leonard Bernstein and SHMF for this priceless opportunity! And thank you for posting this...what a thrill to reconnect with this part of my life after 30 years.
You were so lucky to have studied with him and i hope you achieve everything he inspired you to
I absolutely love Berlioz R&J. Never thought about Bernstein conducting it but it makes absolute sense. This is a treasure.
markovelikonja5399 Am curious why you never thought about Maestro Bernstein conducting this? as his repertoires knew no bounds, anyways whatever you could always be sure that he put his whole being into his music whether a young orchestra or seasoned orchestras like The Weiner Philharmoniker, Boston etc.
@@sarahjones-jf4pr I'd just never seen him conduct much Berlioz and had never seen another performance of R&J. Though the connection to West Side Story makes it a bit more logical.
And Bernstein had some boundaries; he didn't do much Bruckner, for instance.
@@markovelikonja5399 He saved the Bruckner9 for one of his last performances ever, the same as Herbert Von Karajan.
@@sarahjones-jf4pr Karajan did Bruckner 8. I didn't say Bernstein didn't do Bruckner, just not much.
his ability to relate to and explain teenage emotions back to teenagers, here, is incredible.
Ich war dabei und es war wunderbar!
Lenny war beeindruckend und die Atmosphäre war enthusiastisch und konzentriert.
Ich war die 2.Harfenistin.
@chrisdreiser4722Vielen Dank!
Lenny was right about the oboe player. Absolutely magnificent 🤩
He's in the Berliner Philharmoniker now :)
omg what a brilliant performance
C est privilège immense. Ces jeunes artistes ne "travaillent" pas pour des prunes with such a wonderful maestro...
Une vidéo fantastique, Bernstein en plus d'être un grand compositeur et un grand chef d'orchestre est aussi un grand pédagogue.
Bernstein is always a good teacher, after listening to his lecture about a symphony, you will learn what that symphony should be.
This is just what the Doctor ordered...I needed that.
Thanks for posting 👍
It's impressive how casually he'll use every pop culture reference to get his point across, whether it's Fantasia, Blue Velvet, Duke Ellington, Mick Jagger, or in this case, the Zeffirelli adaptation of Romeo and Juliet.
great Mr Leonard Bernstein( 19181990).
Ja 😊 Ich war dabei 👍🏻
ako na pumunta dito dahil sa module👍
❤❤❤
Toute la pédagogie d Bernstein est ici présente ! Mais où est-ce filmé ? Quel est cet orchestre de jeunes, où se passent les répétitions, et puis le concert .Je voudrais bien savoir !
Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival 1989
Sous titres français !?
is the oboe player Christoph Hartmann?
Yes, i think he is
gary8031 You know very well it is all over the comments.....What is your point in asking this?
@@sarahjones-jf4prwhy are you like this? Let him ask. Not everyone reads every single comment under a video.
@@serendrixsan9191 "why am I like this?"well i guess I like people with a little savvy who if asking questions can often find answers within the comments if they can be bothered.
@@sarahjones-jf4pr how about you mind your own business and stop nagging others? 😅

Even sadder than Gorecki?

9:29 nice fart
cresczenzodicecco3310 is that the Maestro!!?
Не умеешь сам, приходиться учить других...
10:38 maestro says not together. Well, the conducting wasn’t great... sorry.
Well, you know, he was never be accused of being precise. That was why the orchestra at some point, all very young musicians, looks terrified because he conducted phrases instead of giving some metrical references.
Magnifique, extraordinaire ... je pleure, je souris, je suis heureuse
This was so much fun, I remember this concert and rehearsal period forever!
This is some of the BEST conducting I've seen Bernstein do! When you're working with youth orchestras you have to cue properly or they WILL NOT come in. His normal theatrics would be ineffectual.
Quelle chance pour ces jeunes!
In June and JUly 1955 in, Paris in the Square court of the Louvre the company of ballet of the Marquis of Cuevas gave a ballet adaptation of this great work, the orchestra was conductor by Jean Martinon, the Choreography was by Serge Golovine, George Skibine , Wladimir Skouratoff and John Taras who were famous dancers of the time, among the dancers was Marjorie Tallchief in the role of Juliet. The façade of the Louvre was part of the sets and during the Capulet ball the dancers were coming out of the windows of the Louvre. It's probably one of my most memorable souvenir which made me discover this incredible score as a youngster.
Simply fabulous. !!
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts Mr. Bernstein.
THIS is so much YOU
This upload certainly deserves far more than 2,800 views and one lonely comment in 6 months. We have here one of the 3 or 4 greatest conductors of the last century rehearsing some gorgeous (and vastly underplayed) music by Berlioz, showing its beauty and profound depth, and demonstrating to young players in his sweet and inimitably revealing and explanatory fashion how much a conductor can impact the performance of music written by a great composer. Thanks so much to dionysos for uploading this invaluable lesson in great music making. At least this one listener truly appreciates your making this fascinating recording available to us.
+Leo Smart Two final comments.
1) Is there a video of the entire concert itself? If there is, would it be possible to upload it? It must be something else to see Bernstein finally conduct the whole piece continuously, after seeing him teach it in pieces.
2) I always thought of the opening theme of the Symphonie Fantastique's 2nd movement as one of classical music's most beautiful melodies, and Berlioz's greatest. But after hearing Bernstein say that Berlioz himself considered the theme from Romeo to be his best, and hearing his heavenly conducting thereof, I think I might have to agree.
+Leo Smart You mention Bernstein being one of the 3 or 4 greatest conductors of the last century but you forgot to mention Berlioz being one of the 3 or 4 greatest composers of all time! My opinion of course but for me he is the most extraordinary talent ever, in the world of music.
Absolutely agree with you there.
Berlioz being one of the 3 or 4 best composer of all time..? Jesus man, he's not even of the best 3 or 4 french composers ..! ;D (my opinion of course)
A superb performance only equaled by Munch and the Boston years before.
I love Bernstein very much
beatiful hermosisimo trabajo de los chicos y Bernstein

wonderful,Thank you so much for uploding this.
When I was studying for my B Mus degree this was one of the set works for finals. How I wish this video was available in those days. I might have got a First instead of a lowly 2-2.....! LOL.
brilliant
Bernstein gives an in-depth analysis of this music in the fourth of his 1973 Norton Lectures at Harvard, on youtube. He thought it was one of the key works of the 19th century, but he never did the entire Dramatic Symphony, which he likely thought too uneven.
Not sure what is '"uneven" about the orchestral music of this superb work-which are commonly played without the vocal music-which can at times seem "uneven".
Sad he did not record those symphonic portions-it could have been grand...
He was VERY devoted Musician!! Now, nobody rehearsing with younger people , like L.B.
Berliotz n Bernstein... made for each other. And with a Lennie lecture first... Paradise! MW
I hope to do not make a mistake, but i think that the first oboe here is the nowaday an oboe of Berliner Philharmoniker. Good blood doesn't lie!
Regarding the entire film, it appears that Bernstein was not only a great conductor, but also a great "didatta", an italian word which means that Bernstein is more than a simple teacher!
He was a great Artist,VERY charismatic leader--that includes be a good coach,if you great Musician too...Artist& Actor too...Bravo!
Yes! absolutely right! This is undoubtedly Christoph Hartmann of the Berliner Philharmoniker. He is an AMAZING oboist even though he is not the section leader (these two are Jonathan Kelly & Albrecht Mayer). Now more than 30 years since this vid was filmed Mr. Hartmann still looks young. Kudos!!! Also amazing that Lenny is so energetic - just a year or so before his untimely death. What a loss...
これも今までになかった録画。
I completely disagree with Bernstein that Wagner "stole note by note, bar by bar" Belioz's great work. Wagner himself admitted that his Tristan was strongly influenced by Romeo and Juliette. However, it was influenced merely in terms of dramatic expression and orchestral mastery. Yes, the beginning in the strings of "Romeo Alone" somewhat resembles the opening bars of Tristan, but just as a mood, atmosphere, etc. It had not been copy-pasted: you cannot refer to a melodic sixth-interval alone, and contend that it's identical in both works, that it had been stolen. I really can't believe that a thoughtful musician as Bernstein could make such an arrogant comment.
I trust Bernstein more than you.
Your comment is the arrogant one .... Let's get that straight.
@@rodrigoalvarez7331 Well, I don't force you to trust me. I'm just stating my opinion. Belive in what you want, it is a free world (supposedly).
To be fair, Bernstein actually never accused Wagner of musical 'plagiarism'. Strongly influenced, as you say. But, we must say, pretty strongly! Both were great and unique geniuses.
@@andreysimeonov8356 You're absolutely right!
