Some believe that Bernstein's Kaddish will not be remembered very far into the future. I hope the future proves them wrong.
This has to be one of the greatest symphonic pieces composed in the last 60 years and I believe it grows more relevant with time, not less.
The Nashville Symphony will be performing it in April of this year.
Fully agree. I just don't see why people are not flocking to this piece. Especially in these times.:(
@@bohuscsaba6381 DRECK.
The same performers made a video of the Symphony in Hiroshima on August 6, and this was made five days later in Vienna.
My parents bought this album. I was in the 3rd grade when JFK was assassinated. To this day, I am haunted by it.
I too had the original recording with the female speaker, it had a profound effect on me as a teenager.
Thank you.
A greatly underrated work.
This is just fantastic. I've been looking for a great speaker doing this symphony, and this is the one. Thanks -- and I agree with the other commenter, this is a vastly underrated work.
Roxanne Conrad you should get hold of Bernstein's original recording with his wife narrating or the Marin Allsopp recording. It works so much better with a female narrator.
Che magnifica esperienza: era l'estate del 1985. Cantai nella Yeunesse Choir di Vienna. Quanti bei ricordi.
As spiritual as any Mass. Magnificent.
Of course and more so because in Aramaic, The Mourner's Prayer which says nothing of death even though it is recited for the dead. Its words only convey the holiness and majesty of G-d. ...Christian concepts come from Judaism. Yet Bernstein wrote a Mass too because he was magnificent!
An honest, heartfelt argument with God. So universal. Man railing with the universe, co-writing life's covenant.
This man was a genius!!
Moving symphony, pure emotion a startling musical endeavour
Just warming up to 20th century orchestral music... and it is a mood-thing (perhaps a reaction to the syrupy fare of today's Indie youth, where I need something with some 'bite' in it)...
This work may not be ground-breaking, and it may merely be an addition to the mid-20th century catalog of ultra-complicated dissonance, but it is a fine representation. You would not be too far off to say it was derived from the same creative movement that the Twilight Zone music was based on.
I'm not sure with whom or where the complex dissonance era began (they call it the 20th Century Crisis, but I see no crisis, only an effort to expand the art), maybe with early Stravinsky or whoever he derived his innovative ideas from... looking at his score for The Rite of Spring, I chalked it up to youthful verve (the urge to be creative, and create 'explosions')... there is some of that here... (and a lot of it in Hollywood today) (enter their cliché thumping percussion)...
His centennial comes in 2018

Why do the choir come in after the conductor?
Lenny was probably very eager that day. Due to some kind of misunderstanding, he showed up earlier. Never knew why the choir was not ready yet. I do know what went wrong with the Leonore III ouverture. It was a tradition with the ECYO at that time the Concertmaster made a separate appearance after the orchestra was in position. He was not there yet when Lenny wanted to start the concert. Everybody moved up forward, you hear the rumble and Lenny obviously looked surprised what happened...
@@ecyo4215 Traditionally the leader ( American: concertmaster) of European orchestras come on after the orchestral/choral forces are on stage and gets a round of applause. I understand that's not the same in the USA where the concertmaster comes on with the rest of the orchestra?

I'm not sure it is a masterpiece. There is not enough cohesion - or really good music - for it to work, and having a speaker (never an easy thing to do) makes it diffuse. The main problem, for me, is the text. It's really quite dreadful. Some very fine, moving passages even so.
Bernstein was just an awful composer and conductor. So overrated.
How can you explain?
Then why bother coming here just to spew your nonsense?
Poor Iryna Kondel. She listens to this and hears emptiness.
