Ich war derletzt mal wieder überrascht von der Höhe unserer Rundfunkgebühren, in Anbetracht meiner Nutzungsintensität. Jetzt stolpere ich über dieses Konzert und denke auf einmal „jeden Cent gut investiert“. Becca Stevens ist großartig und die vielen Musiker um sie herum stehen ihr in nichts nach. Vielen Dank dafür, dass ihr mir schon wieder den Schlaf raubt (eigentlich wollte ich vor einer Stunde im Bett sein, aber wie zur Hölle soll ich das unterbrechen!!!)

So pleased more people can now hear this concert originally live streamed on Sunday. If you're new to Becca Stevens, just take a listen to her new song Heather's Letters To Her Mother, including her introduction starting at 35:06. Stunning performance.

Durch Zufall hier reingestolpert... 103 grossartige Minuten später: einfach wow.

I first heard Becca Stevens on a live recording with David Crosby. I loved that and I love this. So beautiful and intelligent and soulful. I could listen to her sing forever. Thank you for posting.

We love her too. You're welcome!

Becca is a special talent = " Big Facts " ( she is so real ).

Vince Mendoza.... you write the most beautiful music ever, and what an Orchestra!

Becca Stevens was so lovely that night! The orchester did fantastic as well, what a combo!

I appreciate this fearless, unselfconscious approach to music, which reminds us that music is a universal, human endeavor and is ours to do with as we wish; we needn't be bound to received forms, and inventive recasting and fresh orchestration and arranging needn't be disrespectful or deconstructionist.

Einfach nur wunderschön

I already clicked "like", but I feel I should click again and again to emphasize that! Beautiful songs (that probably need to be heard several times to really get the essence) and great arrangements, exquisitely performed by Becca and the orchestra! Bravo!

Really missing the vacuum cleaner at the end of the Muse…

Strange that the White sax, trumpet & trombone soloists are named on-screen, while the Oriental oboe soloist is not...

His name is Tomoharu Yoshida, he’s the fabulous principal oboist for the WDR Funkhausorchester. :) This concert was a collaboration between the WDR Big Band and the WDR Funkhausorchester, but the Big Band team was in charge of the producing, live on-screen inserts etc. (that’s also why the logo in the corner says WDR Big Band) - the other soloists you mentioned are all part of the WDR Big Band, so that’s probably why they are named while others aren’t.

Absolutely beautiful arrangements, how come WDR is stealing all the best songs for their performances!

You can tell Becca was nervous, but she still performed beautifully, sometimes a little over the top but still good. I missed Jordan Perlson playing the drums, the orchestra drummer was ok but kinda generic. Stumbling over this concert was definitely unexpected.

Just enjoy the music. She always seems nervous when she sings, it's just her way, and it's fantastic. The drummer definetely held down, considering there was a huge orchestra full of instruments to be heard and appreciated.

Paul Heller = god. The end.

Paul is sensationally good. But then so is Becca... Becca is linked to Rita Payes via MARO and Paul's solo on Rita's composition "No Home No" was brilliant.

Wonderfull Arrangments and so on, indeed, but Becca seems a littlebit .... not in best condition? Unsure? Problems with monitoring? Dont know, somethings slightly out of range....sorry, but there are really better versions.....second piece little better
