Bernstein, Candide, What's the use, Ludwig, Gedda, Ollmann, Treleaven

...joyous, ebullient, infectious, irresitible...this kind of consumate music making impells one to smile deeply inside and out!

God, I just LOVE this Candide. Bought the video many years ago and I am still impressed. You see a little boy, proudly showing the adults his new toy. And this toy happens to be a 150 men orchestra and chorus. I mean, he stopped conducting in the middle of it and just raised the eyebrows to cue the next singer in 3:05 . And one bar before the chorus comes in he raises the baton and here we go 3:57 . This is so amazing, I have never seen anything like it.

Still expressive and beautifull voices. So touching...

* And Mr. Bernstein looks quite more satisfied than while recording West Side Story with Carreras :-P

[LordMgls]

What a cast!!

[BazzasBest]

What fun! Obviously still plenty of life in those two veteran singers.

@BazzasBest

Not to mention Bernstein himself.

@Herur22 Ah, but sadly not many months of life were left for the maestro and genius.
