Ode to Freedom, Bernstein, Berlin

[atomicgeek]

As lovely as the music is (and it's awesome), I'm always moved just about to tears by Bernstein bouncing up and down. He's so HAPPY to be conducting this one. :3

This is just simply epic. Love it!

I love this version; I bought the CD right after the "Wall" came down. I don't know about anyone else but I can feel the high emotions in the voices and music

Sorry, NachtCrus, my mistake. It's a lovely piece of music, beautifully played and I've become used to politicians taking something which belongs to everyone and twisting it for their own ends. I'm probably too cynical!

I've never heard such a misappropriation of music since the European Union stole Beethoven's 9th for it's 'Anthen'..

[NachtCrus]

@PeaceinUK its not a misappropriation, bernstein was making a statement, this was for the berlin wall coming down.

Is the first chair cellist a young Yo Yo Ma?

nobody asked the poor guy if he can do all of the voices on the violin. :P Since posting this I've discovered any Furtwangler recording blows away any Bernstein recording.
