How amazing to see him live the music he composed while conducting it. So full of humor most of the time- even dancing and joking- but then again absolutely precise and serious on some points, where it is necessary. What an idol still after all the years!

As a young percussionist I used to love playing Bernstein’s compositions... As an adult I still love them!
Still dancing and prancing with a nasty case of influenza, the wonderful enigmatic Maestro Bernstein.
Lenny was da bestest of da best… pure love through sound… heavenly. This has it all, for me.
Great, thanks. Tragic though that Bernstein passed away not even a year after this, (October 1990, I believe)
😢😢
I remember it. Copland died 2 months later. Destroyed me.
@@maestroclassico5801 Yes, Copland was 90. My favorite composer.
@@gerthenriksen8818 And then the damn Persian Gulf war started a week later and I was required to drop out of College....not a good time in my life.
@@maestroclassico5801 No I can imagine.

He did a great thing with Candide. An amazing overture, with so much catching melodies. One of the most joyful overtures !
This version of Candide was the first I ever heard. Bernstein conducting Jerry Hadley and Adolph Green is always fun to watch!
my school uses this song as their bell ring
Holy shit you're so lucky. Which part?
Lenny was enjoying the moment for sure!!
Gotta love his candy colored baton! So cheeky!
♥️♥️♥️
