[SUNSNARE06]

My private teacher knows the guys who played percussion on this session, he said they got yelled at a lot

[Leebm29]

I have a couple of bass saxes for sale in Oregon, both excellent, if anyone is interested

[MusicMan19842007]

The young man and the young lady who are speaking in the "Cha-Cha" section are Alexander and Jamie Bernstein.

[edcord11]

@MusicMan19842007 wow those are his children, would you look at that!

[ipmoic]

The great Ronnie Roseman on oboe.

[TheDanellmcdowell]

True, that is in fact Roseman on oboe. He was my teacher at Juillard, but I didn't recognize him visually. The sound, however, brings back the memories - may he rest in peace.

[TheDanellmcdowell]

True, that is in fact Roseman on oboe. He was my teacher at Juillard. I didn't recognize him in the clip, but that sound sure brings back memories...

[xboxranger07]

Is that Alexander Serge Leonard Bernstein in the video?

[Olfux]

As far as I know you have the full version, if you go to my playlist and choose West Side Story - chopped into bits, I admit, but its all there.

[julie223783]

where can i get my mits on the full version of this recording i have a video and all this interesting stuff wasn't on it. i was fleeced it cost me a fortune from HMV - thanks

[abandeli]

I'd like to know the year of this recording. It seems to be from the late 70's or early 80's...Carreras was very young!

Olfux, thank you for sharing this masterpiece with us. I remember I watched it in Brazilian television by the year 1990, but it was never shown again here.

[rayrainbows]

was living in Amsterdam mid-80s when i saw the recording on Dutch television and was so disappointedly never able to find it again ... till right now, that is ... thanks to the Beautiful People who have put this sublime gift up on Youtube ... i'm entirely beside myself; i'll share with you i've had tears rolling over my cheeks -and i haven't advanced beyond #4a yet- tears of pangs of deep longing for Lenny and his brilliances, and the joys and celebration of all singers musicians technicians

[kelly6739]

can anyone please tell me were u can get a copy of the c.d from?

[ThomasMillwood]

It must have been an honor for two of Leonard Bernstein's children to provide the speaking parts of Tony and Maria (though it is unfortunate that they weren't credited for it).

[b43xoit]

On the CD, they are credited.

[nclysander]

The fact that they can't act at all is only a slight impediment....

[Olfux]

It took me a long time to make the playlist free from faults, but now it's finally OK, I promise you !

[rayrainbows]

thank you for this amazing gift ...

[toghissima]

wher is 3a ???

[Olfux]

I¨m sorry to say, that when there's no 3a it's because there's no need for a 3a. Everything I could lay my hand on is there, I promise you.

[Wavingclouds]

Genius-So many artists can't scratch the surface of the music and look at his command.

[urregoluis]

fantastic!
