I grew up in Boston and used to see Bernstein conduct the BSO lots of times at Symphony Hall.

They had special concerts for kids on Saturday mornings.

Those were the days!

One of the best renditions is the Cleveland Symphony, George Szell conducting. Cannot find it anywhere, have it on vinyl. Incredibly beautiful.

Could be, the vinyl had 40 and 41 in a two record set. Incroyable. Cannot open the file.

Very definitely Bernstein had memorized it all.

I like that lady playing the flute, I think she’s the only one with that instrument in that little ensemble.

I think the video and sound are a little off sync, because I can’t believe Bernstein would be anything other than pinpoint accurate in his beat.
