- Initially I found, that eight videos were adequate to represent the recording of the WSS-musical, but this is the first of six videos, that have been requested to complete the whole session. Total playing time will now be: 1 hr.10 min. All these extra videos have a suffix of one or two letters to their number.

Carreras’s face was beaming with joy in the beginning. Little did he know what was to come......counting.
Something’s coming, nothing good
@@DavidTheRoss lol
Yeah......
Not a good idea! Leave the original alone!
Poor man 😅
Man, playing under Bernstein's baton would make me so self-conscious of my playing because he demands perfection.
I taught English in a secure NYS Division for Youth facility for boys in the 1980s. We read Romeo & Juliet and West Side Story. My students viewed the full documentary on this recording. It was magical. The students, who were participating in an arts program with actors and musicians absolutely loved watching Leonard and the performers create this masterpiece. They particularly enjoyed experiencing the creative tension among the players.
Bernstein introduced me to classical music when I was 4yrs old: Peter and the Wolf. I've been a fan of his ever since. What a talent!
Peter and the Wolf is by Benjamin Britten
@@rachelkingsley668 I know.. But I had Bernstein directing it on an album.
@@rachelkingsley668 Prokofiev not Britten
I loved him doing that piece too when I was a youngster!
Many of us codgers were lucky enough to see a number of Bernstein’s Sunday afternoon shows on CBS of great Classical music programs.
I re-watch these about once a year and I thank you!
Thank you for posting this masterpiece. It is a joy to watch the legend , LBernstein, conducting these amazing musicians and singers and expecting perfection.
Thank you for posting this exceptional rehearsal.
this writing….truly otherworldly composition. language of music at its finest. maestro, maestro, you are a god, sir!
I've revisited these recordings so many times, but never thanked you. THANK YOU
This is priceless footage! Thank you for sharing. 😊
Still my favorite soundtrack of all!
I was there in the listening booth not this session but for "America" . What a gift.
Wow, what an experience!
Wow how fortunate -- mind sharing in what capacity?
Who do you know that was part of the Studios at RCA?
I didnt know anyone at RCA studios. I knew exec at the label Deutche Gramaphone who released this recording when it was done
@@elisem8084 Thanks for the reply.
I'm amused at the appearance of the various members of the Jets, some of whom are considerably older than teenagers.
Right...but they have the two tall guys.
It's fascinating that documentary cameras were there to record the creation of this project, as I'm sure the producers of the doc had no idea it was going to turn into a debacle
Before there was Williams, Zimmer, Elfman, Shaefer...There was the Legend, Leonard Bernstein. He's up there with the Great Composers, Bethoven, Chopin, Mozart... R.I.P. Let's see how Spielberg's version going to hold up to this "true" motion picture classic. GL, Steven. 👏
you....are out of your mind
I mean, he was a very talented conductor. I don't know if that puts him up there with the original creators of much of the classical musicians you mentioned. But hey, you do you.
Was an employee at music manufacturing n distribution. Deutche Gramaphone was one of the labels we handled.
Grew up listening to this version of the soundtrack. the energy felt amazing then as it does seeing behind the scenes!
This is thrilling!! All professionals are doing their best to complete Bernstein 's
composition.
Bernstein is a genious composer.
My friend Steve Bogardus (then and now) is on 3:11 - so young then as now, Dear Steve!
I grew up listening to this album and I know every word to every song
Bernstein, you were amazing..
See you guys on another 10 years later.
That man is a genius.
This is absolutely intense and wonderful!
Thank you! We have the prime set of how the master wanted it.
wow...i know from experience how hard some recording sessions can be, but i bet LB made it a little more enjoyable. Always a pleasure to watch the master at work. great vids :)
"gotta get that gutsy feeling" AH, I love it! So, like, 20th century. haha
È incredibile come un compositore possa dare suono e voce a ciò che è nella sua mente e a farlo in questo modo.
Yea baby, the orchestra is virtually the Brooklyn Philharmonic, Sam Levitan personnel manager.... great players
The drummer who appears at around 8:09 - 8:19 is Nick Cerrato.
Thanks, I was about to ask.
Kurt Ollmann teaches Voice at UW Milwaukee where I study Music Education...
These are the professionals of professional musicians.. no nutting up here tolerated. (Except for Bernstein)
Kurt Ollman!?!? MY voice teacher?? Oh I'll have to ask him!!!!!
Alexa Croft I’m curious if he still teaches, and where!
If you have asked him about the work with Bernstein, please write here!
Damn, wasn’t Lenny a genius! And very cool, too!
Considering that some people are interested in more information about this memorable reunion between Leonard Bernstein, Kiri Te Kanawa, José Carreras and Tatiana Troyanos, in addition to simply watching it as mere banal entertainment like any other rubbish on RUclips and there is no mention of it in any part of the video, these rehearsals took place in NY, in 1984, as a Deutsch Gramophone project.
The great Wilmer Wise is playing 1st Trumpet.
Cool! Just incredible. Who is the drummer? That is as difficult as it can be for a drummer, following a classical director plus soloing.
Oh so good! Fab amazing performers. COOOOOL!! ❤❤❤
thank you for posting this....it's wonderful!
There is NO comparison between Mamma Mia and West Side story. Period.
Both suck ass.
@@craigresnianky6909 WSS?
Who ever made that comparison?
I don’t think anyone was comparing them.
@fountainchain126 even though I completely disagree, I did not see that as arrogant. At this point of his career, because of his prolific conducting and the immense impact he made in the music world I would say that he earned it.
@mwp2paris
Bernstein was certainly a great of this genre, but I think if you're looking for the man who birthed american musical theatre, you gotta go back at least to Gershwin, if not earlier
I love Murray from Stranger Things kickin’ it on the drum kit! 😂
Half of those songs he mentioned are in his Symphonic Dances for West Side Story! 😂
I swear Bernstein could see into the future when he says (at 3:20) "Yesterday's promises are retracted...just like the Republican party."
Now a year later, truer than ever!! How about his Mass, which I am currently singing- "Half of the people are stoned and the other half are waiting for the next election!" Oh my....
Trump--"But if they start a rumble, We'll rumble 'em right. We're gonna hand 'em a surprise. Tonight."Heh heh.
This comment didn’t age well. How is Bidenomics treating you?
@@dr.philmcbill3931 Great, considering the alternative which would be a recession. Unless you're a millionaire it's not like Trump ever did anything for you economically lmao.
@@samdajellybeenie14exactly. 7 months after that comment and things are headed in the right direction. However, right wing media will tell you the world's about to end, in order to sell you a solution that isn't needed and wouldn't work anyway.
Mr. Wise has got some chops!
On n'a rien fait de mieux!!!
Kills me to see him conducting with a cigarette in his mouth. Must have driven the wind players nuts- not to mention the non-smoking others. I suppose that we've changed public attitudes about smoking inside buildings even since this was recorded in the 80s, I believe.
I have this recording in my collection and it's helped change my attitude about opera. Still don't like listening to opera unless I'm there and it's live complete w/ costumes and orchestra- then I like it. I'm learning.
People have replaced their ubiquitous cigarettes with cell phones. Both are an addiction. One destroys the lungs and heart and the other have turned people into robotic non-thinking androids.
@@pianoman551000 Did you use your cell phone to make that reply?
@@samuelseager6785 One does not need a cell phone to make a RUclips reply. I don't have a "smart" phone and my life is fine without it. Now, go help your mom with the household chores.
@@pianoman551000 Yes sir. 😔
I think it’s him that it killed.
@dtripp76 Wilmer Wise is playing 1st trumpet, dunno who the other 2 guys are.
"Oh... GOD!!! I'm so EXCITED!!!" LMAO
This was 👍 great
What privilege work with him.
Astonishing
Exquisite!
A french genius with the trumpet is Maurice André.
Have a great holiday everybody. xoxo
Niki
Absolutely correct about Maurice André!
Wilmer Wise is playing 1st here
Good God Wilmer Wise is so damn good
Excellent.
The guy playing third trumpet looks like George Lucas. Gotta love Wilmer Wise.
amazing
"This is Cool, C-double O-L." Thanks, Mr. Bernstein, I forgot how to spell that word. What would I do without you?
I like the movie voices better
This is possibly the hardest musical to perform, and I'm doing it at the highschool level, which is a lot tougher considering this is like grade 7 music
Abdolutely love the fact that the lead singer has a feel for the genre, and only once or twice produces his voice formally. Carreras, wonderful OPERA singer that he is, has no feel for musical theatre and approaches everything as though he were singing at La Scala.
I read somewhere that Bernstein did not want Carreras for the role and had chosen Jerry Hadley but was overruled by the record label because they thought having Carreras on the recording would sell more records. They were so wrong.
Wilmer Wise on trumpet.
True, great artists like Bernstein are extinct.
West Side Story still is one of those great musicales marred by a ridiculous ending that never fails catch people snickering...
"We're going to restore bar 110. Promises retracted, just like the Republican Party". Hilarious comment.
Lenny was so mean to John McClure on that session.
We love Carreras
this is fab :-)
I bet ppl around him had to inhale his heavy smoke all the time
why do camera guys leave out the basses?
@flowerlullaby That's awesome!
Thats some trumpet he has tgere
@sireofzelda oh yeah. haha forgot about this. yep it is him!!!!! :D
Keep learning .... still a lot to do ....
Great
at 8:00 looks like A-Rab is playing the violin
How could anyone listen to this? Bernstein... take in limited doses.
2:00 I had no idea Bill Gates was in this...
"Just like the Republican party" LOL!

7:02 is that Billy Mitchell?
🎹🎼👏
wow
I doubt the general public will detect the phasing or lack of togetherness in that one bar. Close enough for jazz.
remember when you could smoke indoors?
G.E.N.I.U.S.
Isn't the whole reason they sing "Cool" in the musical because Riff was killed in the knife fight? (i.e. why is the same guy singing it?)
I had not noticed that.
"Cool" comes before the knife fight in the original musical. The movie switched the places of serious song "Cool" and humorous song "Gee Officer Krupke" because the filmmakers wanted the overall tone to get progressively darker as the movie went on.
How about MAMMA MIA!
uah! ✨✨✨🐻✨✨✨
6;20 bare slap af 😂
I nam confusing>}}?
WOW

Opera singers have a hard time being "EDGY"... as was a REQUISITE !

Is the guitar player warming up with Donne Lee in the beginning? Or is he just trying to show off for Berntsein as he enters lol. "Practicing my pentatonic ya ya ya, OH SHIT LENNY...**doodly do do da da da ba ba buh da dalala na na na na**...hope he noticed"
8:09 - 8:19 So Cool boy!!
Is he wearing a sweat shirt How Bizarre
A genius, but just a guy.
@flowerlullaby Well, what was the verdict?
