Bernstein was transcendent. There are no words in any language to truly describe how great he really was.

Frankly, this is the most extraordinary Bernstein rehearsal video I ever saw. Take in mind that at in 1989 he was only 71 years of age and a year later he was dead. His didactic capacities were enormous, as well as his love of the music. One of the greatest conductors of the 20th century. He will be always remembered...

This was the pivotal experience in my life that inspired my career as a performer/educator. Thank you, Leonard Bernstein and SHMF for this priceless opportunity! And thank you for posting this...what a thrill to reconnect with this part of my life after 30 years.

He was filmmaking with music. Extraordinary. What a man

Ich war dabei und es war wunderbar! Lenny war beeindruckend und die Atmosphäre war enthusiastisch und konzentriert. Ich war die 2.Harfenistin.

Lenny was right about the oboe player. Absolutely magnificent 🤩

I absolutely love Berlioz R&J. Never thought about Bernstein conducting it but it makes absolute sense. This is a treasure.

C est privilège immense. Ces jeunes artistes ne "travaillent" pas pour des prunes with such a wonderful maestro...

It's impressive how casually he'll use every pop culture reference to get his point across, whether it's Fantasia, Blue Velvet, Duke Ellington, Mick Jagger, or in this case, the Zeffirelli adaptation of Romeo and Juliet.

This is some of the BEST conducting I've seen Bernstein do! When you're working with youth orchestras you have to cue properly or they WILL NOT come in. His normal theatrics would be ineffectual.

Une vidéo fantastique, Bernstein en plus d'être un grand compositeur et un grand chef d'orchestre est aussi un grand pédagogue.

This is just what the Doctor ordered...I needed that. Thanks for posting 👍

omg what a brilliant performance

Ja 😊 Ich war dabei 👍🏻

great Mr Leonard Bernstein( 19181990).

ako na pumunta dito dahil sa module👍

Toute la pédagogie d Bernstein est ici présente ! Mais où est-ce filmé ? Quel est cet orchestre de jeunes, où se passent les répétitions, et puis le concert .Je voudrais bien savoir !

Sous titres français !?

is the oboe player Christoph Hartmann?

9:29 nice fart

Не умеешь сам, приходиться учить других...

10:38 maestro says not together. Well, the conducting wasn’t great... sorry.

This upload certainly deserves far more than 2,800 views and one lonely comment in 6 months. We have here one of the 3 or 4 greatest conductors of the last century rehearsing some gorgeous (and vastly underplayed) music by Berlioz, showing its beauty and profound depth, and demonstrating to young players in his sweet and inimitably revealing and explanatory fashion how much a conductor can impact the performance of music written by a great composer. Thanks so much to dionysos for uploading this invaluable lesson in great music making. At least this one listener truly appreciates your making this fascinating recording available to us.

Bernstein is always a good teacher, after listening to his lecture about a symphony, you will learn what that symphony should be.

Magnifique, extraordinaire ... je pleure, je souris, je suis heureuse

This was so much fun, I remember this concert and rehearsal period forever!

Quelle chance pour ces jeunes!

In June and JUly 1955 in, Paris in the Square court of the Louvre the company of ballet of the Marquis of Cuevas gave a ballet adaptation of this great work, the orchestra was conductor by Jean Martinon, the Choreography was by Serge Golovine, George Skibine , Wladimir Skouratoff and John Taras who were famous dancers of the time, among the dancers was Marjorie Tallchief in the role of Juliet. The façade of the Louvre was part of the sets and during the Capulet ball the dancers were coming out of the windows of the Louvre. It's probably one of my most memorable souvenir which made me discover this incredible score as a youngster.

Simply fabulous. !! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts Mr. Bernstein. THIS is so much YOU

I love Bernstein very much

beatiful hermosisimo trabajo de los chicos y Bernstein

wonderful,Thank you so much for uploding this.

When I was studying for my B Mus degree this was one of the set works for finals. How I wish this video was available in those days. I might have got a First instead of a lowly 2-2.....! LOL.

brilliant

Bernstein gives an in-depth analysis of this music in the fourth of his 1973 Norton Lectures at Harvard, on youtube. He thought it was one of the key works of the 19th century, but he never did the entire Dramatic Symphony, which he likely thought too uneven.

I hope to do not make a mistake, but i think that the first oboe here is the nowaday an oboe of Berliner Philharmoniker. Good blood doesn't lie!

これも今までになかった録画。

I completely disagree with Bernstein that Wagner "stole note by note, bar by bar" Belioz's great work. Wagner himself admitted that his Tristan was strongly influenced by Romeo and Juliette. However, it was influenced merely in terms of dramatic expression and orchestral mastery. Yes, the beginning in the strings of "Romeo Alone" somewhat resembles the opening bars of Tristan, but just as a mood, atmosphere, etc. It had not been copy-pasted: you cannot refer to a melodic sixth-interval alone, and contend that it's identical in both works, that it had been stolen. I really can't believe that a thoughtful musician as Bernstein could make such an arrogant comment.
