Leonard Bernstein: West Side Story, studio-takes. (1a)

Initially I found, that eight videos were adequate to represent the recording of the WSS-musical, but this is the first of six videos, that have been requested to complete the whole session. Total playing time will now be: 1 hr.10 min. All these extra videos have a suffix of one or two letters to their number.

Genius at work. The best show soundtrack ever. Music that set the standard that others dream of creating.

Thats funny, considering Bernstein himself is conducting... if he wanted something done a certain way he would have made it happen...

[BonoEtMalo]

Bernstein, you were amazing..

[Reveller120]

7:02 is that Billy Mitchell?

remember when you could smoke indoors?

@fountainchain126 even though I completely disagree, I did not see that as arrogant. At this point of his career, because of his prolific conducting and the immense impact he made in the music world I would say that he earned it.

@fountainchain126 Surely that was "tongue in cheek" from Lenny?

02:32 lol!

The drummer who appears at around 8:09 - 8:19 is Nick Cerrato.

This is thrilling!! All professionals are doing their best to complete Bernstein 's

composition.

Bernstein is a genious composer.

[ilikzim]

at 8:00 looks like A-Rab is playing the violin

I find it amusing how Bernstein doesn't know the popular name of what he calls his quintette. Tonight.

Guess he didn't appreciate Stephen Sondheim very much.
