Somewhere is so heartbreaking -- especially this orchestration. I played it in orchestra and cried in the performance. Greatest musical of all time! Beautiful! Just shed a tear now...
We're playing the piece on our upcoming concert. On the one hand, I'm pissed there's no bassoon during Somewhere. On the other hand, I'm glad there's no bassoon part during Somewhere. I get too emotional 😥 I always forget how much WONDERFUL music there is in WSS.
This piece is truly a work of art. 6:14 and 20:20 makes me cry. And playing it in in orchestra is even more awesome. I love every moment I get to play it. Who would agree?
You can tell this conductor worships Maestro Bernstein, just by the way he conducts!!! I wonder how many know that "Somewhere" was a love song, or an expression of atonement, to his wife, the long suffering, Felicia Montealegre.
More American than America. Just like Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony playing Strauss- more Viennese than Vienna, itself. Music like this is why I live. I have tears of joy streaming down my face. People we got to come together. We have to try to be worthy. Music is a blessing from God.
Eine der wunderschönsten Musical aller Zeiten; und immer wieder ein Genuss, Menschen zu sehen die Instrumente so perfekt spielen. Die Kamera-Führung, ein Genuss. Warum kommen mir eigentlich immer wieder die Tränen? Ich schaue und höre es mir immer wieder an und denke, wie können Menschen solch schöne Musik machen.
The Somewhere part breaks my heart every time. It is painful having to relive this music. I cried when I played it in orchestra and I cried when I watched the movie. Man, it is absolutely haunting especially with the string trio at the beginning.
We must thank the Frankfurt Radio Symphony for this very well done Bernstein adventure on the West Side. The sound is superb on fine speakers. Great music from a very good orchestra. Orozco-Estrada gives us a special Hispanic feel. Sent to us the same day of my review! What a privilege. Jazzy and worth a trip.
The "Viena Miracle" Andrés Orozco-Estrada has been even much more miraculous conducting this wonderful orchestra in Germany. His versions of Beethoven symphonies are fabulous.
Every composer dreams about writing music that will live through the ages. Well, Lenny has nothing to worry about. West Side Story will be there with Magic Flute and Madama Butterfly generation after generation. The music is wonderful and the show is amazing and touches every heart.
A FORÇA DA MÚSICA DE BERNSTEIN E GERSHWIN, É PARALISANTE... DA RESPIRAÇÃO !! SE O PARAISO EXISTISSE, ELES ESTARAIM COMPONDO JUNTOS, UMA SINFONIA DO UNIVERSO... !!!
At the onset of "Somewhere" you almost feel like the gritty streets of NY are suddenly washed clean of all their filth by the incidence of an unexpected beam of heavenly light. The power of music and human imagination!
I'm a big fan of Kirill Petrenko's version with the Berlin Phil, but the slow parts of this version have so much more emotion. The ending is heartbreaking.
You literally play one of the greatest melodies ever written on the instrument that you love -- and even if you never felt love in your life, this is what it feels like. Absolutely magical.
Nice to see a percussion player also doubling up to play a wind instrument. Sadly the arrangers fail to get the proper recognition for a superb piece of music. Well done to the orchestra.
Je suis un fan de cette comédie musicale, pour moi la plus belle réussite du cinéma ... il y a une guitare qui joue aussi dans la musique originale et qui donne une couleur discrète mais elle ne figure pas dans ce concert dommage !
This is an orchestra and conductor for whom I have an immense admiration. However, while this performance is far better than most and while it almost gets there, it still doesn't quite achieve the bite and edge of Bernstein's performance, or the defining 2018 performance by the John Wilson Orchestra from the Albert Hall (unfortunately not on TH-cam).
como músico colombiano estoy muy orgulloso del trabajo de Andrés Orozco, pero siento que al menos en esta pieza le hace falta un poco más de amarre con la orquesta, creo que sus gestos no son necesariamente lo que la orquesta esta interpretando y de hecho parece un poco sobreactuado... no así tan exigente con la afinación en ciertos pasajes.
Sometimes they only want to play the mambo. Is it because it it thought of as ‘more’ than the rest of the piece? And then when it ends, I guess they think it has to end suddenly instead of winding down slowly like here. Is that true?
A magyaroknak illik tudni róla, hogy be akarták mutatni neki egyik tehetséges hazánkfiát, hogy támogatást kérjen a zenei tanulmányaihoz, ő csak azt kérdezte: Milyen nemzetiségű? Magyar - válaszolták. Szó nélkül hátat fordított.
So beautiful. Berstein’s genius. A veritable musical instrument of the highest caliber

I agree 👍
Immer wieder ein Genuss, wie L.Bernstein das Lebensgefühl der jungen Menschen musikalisch umsetzt!

Whoever did the camera work was as brilliant as the orchestra!

I have been watching a lot of this orchestra's performances. It is one of the world's greatest.
Definitely one of the most well-composed dances of our time.
Bernstein composed these in the 1950's/60's, and you say "of our time" in 2019-20?? Hold on there, I'm not sure whose time your talking about!!??
@@lisaragsdale1530that is considered our time for the era of music
@@sum7242not really. That’s an antiquated mindset.
All this back and forth about time. Music, especially of this caliber, is TIMELESS!! 🎶
Eine schöne Zusammenfassung des wunderbaren Bernstein Musicals. Perfekt von einem Klasse Orchester intoniert.
The enthusiasm of the conductor is so brilliant and adds to the joyful performance. Bravo!
Indeed! Orozco-Estrada is brilliant, and the Frankfurt Orchestra glows in every phrase.

Gosh! That viola solo at 4:33 sounded like a human voice. Superb!

Great performance,wonderful arrangement, and of course,it’s Bernstein.
One of the best and most brilliant plays all around!
The "Viena Miracle" Andrés Orozco-Estrada has been even much more miraculous conducting this wonderful orchestra in Germany. His versions of Beethoven symphonies are fabulous.
Brilliant piece, brilliant performance, brilliant recording. No doubt, Bernstein was one of the leading composers of the 20th century.
Great performance for an American masterpiece. Bravo, Andrea and Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra!
Masterpiece indeed.
Every composer dreams about writing music that will live through the ages. Well, Lenny has nothing to worry about. West Side Story will be there with Magic Flute and Madama Butterfly generation after generation. The music is wonderful and the show is amazing and touches every heart.
Very enjoyable! The genius of Bernstein.
absolutely
The day he died the world became a lesser place.
Brilliant! I mean the music, the orchestration, the conducting and the playing. Altogether an invaluable video.
Bravo! with Andres Orozco- Estrada conducting. Brilliant!
Wonderful performance, loved it. It sounded very well rehearsed!
Bernstein would be proud of this performance! Amazing!
A refreshing, elevating performance - right in the spirit of Bernstein!
The flute section is SUPERB! #flutepower
HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY LENNY!!
Bernstein the greatest musical instrument of the 20th century.
Wonderful. A feast for the eyes and ears. Thanks you for sharing.
Frankfurt waterfront looks stunning!
The greatest musician to have lived in our lifetimes
WOW! This is so beautiful. BRAVO!!!!

De ensueño MAGNÍFICA INTERPRETACIÓN 👍👍👌🥰
Bestimmt einer der best komponierten Tänze unserer Zeit.
Thank you so much, I really enjoyed this very much
That was lovely.
I played this at all state and it was so much fun
Disfrutar la música, hermoso don de la humanidad.
Wish I had been there!
The last time I played this in orchestra, after the concert, I went home, took a shower and cried. Saddest story ever... Wish I didn't see the movie.
You literally play one of the greatest melodies ever written on the instrument that you love -- and even if you never felt love in your life, this is what it feels like. Absolutely magical.
So beautiful!!!!
20:00 me hace llorar . amor sin barreras !!!

Uma Maravilha de musica . Uma execução primorosa pela orquestra sinfônica e só dois mil likes .
SIN PAZ NI LIBERTAD NO 😔 HAY SALUD NI FELICIDAD
That was so fucking good holy shit
Nice to see a percussion player also doubling up to play a wind instrument. Sadly the arrangers fail to get the proper recognition for a superb piece of music. Well done to the orchestra.
Wait! Do you mean the whistle? 😂
Leopard Bernstein was the finest musical instrument to have ever existed

I love every song in WSS, If I were to pick my 2 most beautiful broadway songs would choose “Somewhere” and from MFL “The Street Where You Live.”
I love the tension of mambo section
Brilliant
6:14 I got goosebumps.
Gorgeous af
as good as this performance is at 17:26 you've got to launch into some disgustingly tight swing, it still feels slightly too straight
ich habs im tv gesehen :)
17:15 part I need for an audition 🥸

I think this trombonist at 12:00 looks like Morrison.
Sometimes they only want to play the mambo. Is it because it it thought of as ‘more’ than the rest of the piece? And then when it ends, I guess they think it has to end suddenly instead of winding down slowly like here. Is that true?
Very crisp “mambo!”
Make sure to listen to
“Westside Story “
15:21 Fugue
Who is the saxophonist playing with the orchestra?
Beautifully played. Bravo!
