Браво!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Lovely reminder of how talented were our actors and actresses. Truly, we lived in a superior world.

Fred "The Hammer" Williamson & "Mack the Knife" used to hang out with "New York Phil", the harmonica player. But Kaye was an amazing talent.

He was genius for the ages

Prestissimo 😱💖💖💖

December 20th. 2022. Hahaha, LOL !!😂 Well, hello there !! I saw the complete show last night. Totally unexpected. Thank you for giving me "an after-taste". I had watched a short documentary about Danny Kaye. Next "an evening with Danny Kaye" appeared. And it could have been anything... An interview with him, another documentary, I didn't have a clue... So I started watching.., well the rest is history. Afterwoods, I slept wonderfully. And, yess, waking up in the morning I was still in this laughing-mood. And as I do need to do a few preparations of some sort for tomorrow, this "trigger" did get me straight back in my laughter of last night !! So, thank you !! Ever so kind 🎯‼️ Wishing you pleasant days in the days to come and the best for the new year.🎀💯 God bless you and your extended ones 💐 Sincere regards in Christ Jesus Our Lord through The Holy Spirit 💖, in His service ✝️🌹, A. DEE WAI 🕊️

Super duper!

Now that's the proper way to do humor - joke WITH virtuosity, not instead of it.

He knew his way around the orchestra, that's for sure.

Let’s be honest, this is school stuff.

ne eğlenceli ne hoş adamdı bee

Loved him. Such a talent.

That was "Fiddle Faddle" by Leroy Anderson -composer

Leroy Anderson should be placed in the gallery of the Classics! His musics is so joyful to hear, whether slow or fast, each piece is adorable!

Mix conviction, courage, good communication, harmonic sensitivity and a few thousand hours of good practicing and this is what you get. Of course it helps to be a born musician.

The 1941 version of blood and Sand with Rita Hayworth was the best ever made the future 1 with Sharon Stone was terrible

a truly masterful musician

I love it\(@^0^@)/

I'm was amazed at Danny Kaye's performance here. Rehearsed or not, his conducting was very impressive. He seemed to know exactly what he was doing. A wonderful artist.

Wow! Zubin gave Danny the keys and let him drive!!!!

How annoying. He’s not “conducting” anything. He just clowning around to the music.

I wish he would have done at least the entire first movement of Beethoven No. 8. Considering that Kaye was supposedly musically illiterate, what little I heard was a performance of great verve, rhythmic propulsion and nuance. Granted, you have a great orchestra that could have brought it off without anyone on the podium; but Kaye’s stick technique, even more pronounced in its effectiveness in “Fiddle-Faddle” (probably very carefully rehearsed), is remarkable -- praised by such luminaries as Dimitri Mitropoulos, William Steinberg and George Szell. It was Mitropoulos who supposedly said to Kaye, “I have been working with this orchestra for eight years, you for only several hours. Somehow, you get them to play better than I have been able to get them to play. And I hear you have never studied music. What a waste of talent!”

Блестяще!

Thanky u soo much for posting this video... I m from Turkey on the year of late 80 s my father was pushing us to watch and listen classic music ( when ı was 13 years old) and Danny Kaye let me to love classic music... Thank u dad and thank u Danny Kaye... Great memoris old good days.....

Beautiful Thank you

Is it necesserary To read music To know music? I don't think so...

Zubin Mehta should piss his pants off.

Lleva el compás a la perfección

Danny Kaye was remarkable. I don't know what year this was filmed, as Kaye passed away in 1987, but the NY Philharmonic was outstanding.

A symphony with no slow movement Danke Ludwig.

And they can all SING! Incredible -- and such FUN! Thank you Maestro Kaye!

Fantastico, un genio di una simpatia unica.

and did not read music.....yes genius

So many great memories of watching this - what a genius. Thanks for posting it.

Love this!

It's brilliant! You're a genius!

John, that was delightful. Thanks. And a Happy Christmas to you too! :)
