​@@WDRKlassikand the symphony orchestra should have no bass guitar, instead I'd like to receive the bass lines to the double basses...

[@tillm2481]

@@WDRKlassikSorry, this does not work..perhaps with the WDR big band..the arrangement is lame, as already someone put it in the comments..in April 2020 during lockdown Emily Bear (Grammy winning with Bridgerton Musical in 2022 and mentored by Quincy Jones since the age of 9) arranged a mash up between Kacey Musgrave‘s Rainbow and this song for Broadway dancers #twogetherathome DON'TCHA WANNA DANCE? on youtube.. it‘s way better.. your arrangement is Olaf Scholz partying..btw. what about asking her next year for some Disney arrangements..she is now writing the songs for Moana 2

What a great team performance 👏

[@WDRKlassik]

Thank you! 😊

[@victornoagbodji]

The thing that stood out for me was the single bass guitar that could be clearly heard. A single bass guitar and an orchestra! That's some genius mic placement there 😊🙏

[@WDRKlassik]

Thank you:)

[@Arihant997]

Must congratulate the conductor Bar Avni !!

Mindblowing music! I love the conductor's energy and good vibes! 💖

Thank you 🤗

[@clausewitz41_plus_1]

I was thinking that the conductor is just jamming to some great tunes... and, oh yeah, directing an orchestra also.

[@SOMERSJAMES]

It doesn't feel so classical, but it feels Whitney could be in this song

[@lutfiindrawan]

Großartige Arbeit. Danke. Aber irgendwie erinnert mich die Dirigentin an Nurit Hirsh. Weiß auch nicht wieso.

[@WDRKlassik]

Danke! Schön, dass Ihnen unsere Version gefällt 🤗

@@WDRKlassikIch weiß es. 1973 Dirigierte sie im exakt gleichen Outfit den Israelischen beitrag zum Grand Prix Eurovision (Eurovision Song Contest)

[@captainreza1]

Appreciate the experiment! Not a delightful translation of a pop song into classics.

[@RosaElenaVazquezRamirez]

Pues AMI me gusta más con la orquesta ❤

[@goodcyrus]

MAKES THE ORIGINAL FEEL MUCH BETTER. SOUNDS GOOFY AND LACKING IN ENERGY DESPITE SUCH LARGE ORCHESTRA

[@humbledandgrateful7411]

Was just belting this out only yesterday... so, I'm shocked both at seeing this in the recommendation and at how limp and terrible this version is. I guess they thought the bongo would drum up the 80s. Completely throws off the rhythm. No... honestly, everything was bad about this one 😢

[@caridadbuenavente]

First time listening in this kind of music lately and i enjoy it so much..do yoy have it on spotify..thank you for your wonderful band..
