Leonard Bernstein - Candide Overture (New York Philharmonic, Lorin Maazel) | Pyongyang Concert (8/9)

[@TheJoshuamooney]

I love Lenny, I love Lorin. I prayed that their music might inspire more than it did in North Korea. But after a few minutes of reflection, I realized there is no force of art and beauty on earth capable of penetrating all the walls and bullets and bombs that keep in and keep out our fellow humans from where they want to go/need to go/SHOULD go, for the sake of the human race.

I remember hearing this live over the radio. But seeing it, the whole orchestra playing with the podium empty ... it's deeply touching. Lenny Lives! I hope the orchestra truly feels the affection that Loein Maazel says they do.

I can't imagine that what will happen if Bernstein comes to 2024 and see this video

1:42 starts Also the best recording of this Overture. Kind of funny to think this is in North Kora.

Agreed. I've heard it performed multiple times per different ensembles and conductors, but for me this has the absolute best version of the horn section doing the counter melody after the solo is shared between the principal and co principal players. The section absolutely soars in this!

So beautiful, wonderful composition, great performance. So ironic being performed in North Korea, in a way, but we should all be exposed to beautiful music and beautiful things.
