As a lifelong music lover, I am amazed to say that I never came across this Bernstein piece before. I found it quite by accident while casually searching for anything interesting to watch. I now sit here bawling like a baby with goosebumps running up and down my arms. How could I have missed this? What a stunning and emotionally moving piece of work. And as an aside, I love the enthusiasm of the conductor as he sings along with the chorus. Bravo to all the performers and to Maestro Lenny!
@@Castilda0311 not really - the lyrics were originally by Lilian Hellman. And this particular number was rewritten as various versions of the show tried different endings.
One of the most aspirational moments in musical stage. Gorgeously dressed and wealthy audience there to honor Bernstein…and they didn’t even know when to clap. This kept me from downloading this otherwise wonderful video. God save us from rich ninnies!
How come they don't put those other New York Philharmonic concerts online, from before 2019, and when they, do it says this video is unavailable in your area. Why is this?
Jeez… What a bunch of petty criticisms… Like a pack of hissing Gollums. Beautiful version of Lenny’s talented work. Thank you, maestro. I always put a flower on your grave at Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn.
Lovely vocalists. They do compliment each other. Wonderful choiresters and musicians.
I absolutely adore Candide and this particular song. The performers look and sound beautiful and perfect. Just wonderful.

Listen to the entire Candide, it's very interesting and good!
He has such a clean voice. It's nice to hear this sung without being oversung.
I had never heard of Aaron Tveit until I saw him in Les Misérables and was captivated with his voice, but hearing him now is sensational.
Is anyone here after watching them in a hallmark movie together?

SHE WAS ALSO IN "IN THE KEY OF LOVE" - SHE SANG IN THAT, TOO!
What movie?
@@zayvier69 A Royal Holiday
Oh yes, and i am shocked😳😳😳
Goosebumps every time.
This was an ensemble I didn't know I needed
Ok their chemistry is perfect
One of the very few versions where I could I stand the words. Bravo!!
Realize that this is a musical adaptation of Voltaire’s classic text. The lyrics are as brilliant as the music.

What a lovely performance.
What an excellent performance as highlight of the concert !
Beautiful :’)
I didn't even know Tveit could sing
Is that George Washington (Christopher Jacksonnnn)
Excellent
Wow Fabulous!

why doesn't the new york philharmonic still play on PBS on New Years Eve anymore
gorgeous
The audience clapping early made me realize some of them hadn't heard this song before

Well this isn’t technically posted officially by PBS, I just got the recording from their website and posted it myself 🤫🤐
Damn--that applause mistake! 😂
Is there anything Laura Osnes can't sing?!?
ISN'T SHE WONDERFUL! HE IS TOO - BUT HER VOICE IS THAT OF AN ANGEL!
shout out to the wand wizard
