[@OliverHarrington]

This is the side of orchestral concerts that nobody knows exists - when Dudamel and a bunch of Venezuelans get together and play Leonard Bernstein, it becomes a giant party.

[@Mark64W]

Well said Sir . Concerts like this need more exposure to make young people to take an interest in learning to play an instrument , and the general public to attend concerts .

[@Scorowin]

Bernstein is definitely smiling down on this!

[@thewalmer7942]

He’d burst out of his grave and dance along with the musicians

[@eirwenroberts5718]

Q

[@akshaygowrishankar7440]

They felt the jazz.

[@manuelorozco7760]

Maybe you’re right

[@tenorandrewowens]

Or he’d growl ‘TOO FAST. SLOW DOOOOWWWWN’

[@putzgadol]

I love the response of the audience

[@juanmunoz8874]

Most of latinos are like that☺

[@putzgadol]

+Juan Muñoz this is a love affair between musicians and the those listening. guess sheets, amigo

[@gpgara]

That's called PURE Latin America, baby! Cheers, from Bogotá, Colombia!! :)

[@smudger671]

I don't.

[@gfunk449]

Clapping on one was a bit too much though

[@stevennaylor3900]

Holy moly, I don't know if I've ever seen so much energy in an orchestra go off at once like that. That had more energy than a million Red Bulls!!!!

[@Kenikex]

That's when you mix in the Latino flavor. :) That's what we bring to the table.

[@SG-2999G]

Bravo!

[@klop4228]

And much better energy, too

Damn, that was one hell of a party going on up there.

[@spice7782]

i love how at 0:47 the conductor turns around with the thought in his mind like “imma make them say it”

[@gotdamn.]

he did this at the end of almost every concert, so they usually know to say it

[@robertojimenez7255]

This is the love that musicians should get!!, It's so refreshing seeing an audience really enjoying and celebrating music for what it is.

[@manuelorozco7760]

If only I felt that watching the Long Beach symphony during my 4th and 5th grade field trips.

[@thepinkelephant2520]

[@ivonneosorio8204]

They are Venezuelan. They know how to play excellent. However, they know how to have fun when they can. That is the Venezuelan feeling. Good for them. I love it. ❤👏👏👏👏👏

I mean, he doesn't have to cross strings so I'd call that a win.

[@cjc2]

Wow. How did I just discover this? This was brilliant. Best “Mambo” ever.

Dudamel knows exactly what type of dynamic to bring to a crowd and it never ceases to amaze me. Bravo!

[@heatherchambers1609]

And nailed it 😊

[@marcoramirez2513]

English author's (Shakespeare) play originally set in Italy (Romeo and Juliet), reimagined in New York (West Side Story) by an American born Jew (Leonard Bernstein), performed by a Venezuelan classical conductor (Gustvao Dudamel) and broadcasted on German TV. What's not to love?

[@tinoj2886]

West side story it’s not Romeo and Juliet it’s based on it but it’s not so! The story it’s most about Puertoricans so...

[@barrysmith1202]

the lenny wasn't a LOT more famous

[@akshaygowrishankar7440]

Comparing this to the BPO performance with Metzmacher is out of the question: this is MILES better.

[@tinoj2886]

The Scoop! Mamame la crica, ya dije lo que tenía que decir si piensas de otra manera allá tú, it’s not Romeo and Juliet is Tony and Maria yeah the whole story is based en Romeo y Julieta pero no es Romeo y Julieta, edúcate bruto.

[@GeometricMason]

The sad thing is if someone like Bernstein wrote something like this today it would be called "cultural appropriation"

[@FallenAngel1508]

This is the most fun I've ever seen an orchestra have in my life!😁🎉🎻🎺🎶

[@Mark64W]

I would have given anything to have played that night !!

[@jennae7903]

The energy! Dudamel helped make classical music cool again, phenomenal performal from the orchestra

[@Mark64W]

I totally agree . Just look at the age of the audience ! Classical music doesn't have to be for old people .

[@gpgara]

Classical music has always been cool.

[@idingdang1010]

Bernstein will be proud of this .

[@vonaurelius4924]

After watching Steven Spielberg's film, i can't stop watching this video. Dudamel was perfect in this and in the cinema.

[@trueandika]

And he conducted the score for the Spielberg’s movie.

[@XprPrentice]

Why is there no "love" button here?! Absolutely wonderful, this! The crowd knowing the "lyrics", the orch with such energy, but still playing beautifully, so much fun all around! Just fantastic!

[@carolynzaremba5469]

Everybody knows West Side Story.

[@akshaygowrishankar7440]

Only Venezuelan Youth Orchestra and Dudamel can pull this off.

[@kaitoshirogane5563]

Wow, this has left me speechless. So much energy and so much going on, it almost felt as much of a theatrical performance as it was a musical performance. Love every bit of it!

[@alejandronarvaez9806]

0:20 That guy playing in the G string xD Sick

[@ellispipermusic]

i never would have noticed that LMAO

[@omlu]

It shows that I'm not a musician because I went to look expecting to see a guy playing violin in a thong

[@DariusSarrafi]

This is the best rendition of Bernstein's mambo I've ever heard. The audience's appreciation for the genre adds SO much excitement. ¡Viva la resistencia! ¡Viva Símon Bolívar!

[@Heatheresque1]

This was so fun to watch! It was a party on stage. This is how playing music should feel! I wish my band would play this!

[@manuelorozco7760]

As a music lover, I’m sorry for you

I'd play the heck out of any game that has music this energetic for boss themes. I live for good boss music.

[@kristenacaroline8821]

when they were spinning the trumpets I think I had a heart attack. also literally the band was carrying that while the orchestra got to fool around. still fun thoo

[@anarelabarrios6368]

That's how we are. We party...but we get the job done!!!

[@LordMSh]

Only Dudamel can do this.

Wow! It must have been so very exciting to have been in the audience! What a blast. And that BIG smile on Gustavo's face while he directed the orchestra (and audience) was electrifying.

[@klassikkirche5775]

Thats classical music! Thats alive...

[@d_dawg]

That is not classical music....that is twentieth century music composed in the 1940s-50s!

[@glitterstormed]

The word "Classical" is also used to describe a genre and not necessarily a specific time period. For instance, the Brahms Violin Concerto is considered to be "classical" music even though Brahms is very much a Romantic-era composer. The Symphonic Dances from West Side Story are definitely considered to be a standard orchestral work in the classical world. The use of the word in this case does not refer to the Classical era.

[@michaelbay8438]

The term "classical" is frequently misused by laymen to be understood as anything that is not pop/rap/jazz, but personally for me, I feel like that is a misrepresentation and overgeneralization of music, which has many distinct genres.

[@gcg8187]

@@michaelbay8438 just call this classical music bro. That way people will realize classical can be fun and dynamic too. Then maybe they get into Brahms and dvorak and Beethoven

[@holdenlouie2905]

I couldn't help but have a stupid grin on my face throughout the entire video. Seeing not only a whole audience enjoying the music with such enthusiasm, but also the band as well made my day. The positive energy here is just so contagious. Great job Dudamel!
