Love how the conductor is wearing matching sneakers.

I remember this performance like it was yesterday! #nyousa

Makes me hope for the future in spite of the present. Young people with dedication, diligence and the ability to hear. What more can we ask? Amazing music played faultlessly.

Oh my goodness... I was prepared to be a bit reserved in my judgement given how young these players are. No need. This was a no-apologies kick butt performance. Amazing power and beauty. Bravo!

This is by far the best performance of Bernstein's Symphonic Dances from West Side Story I have EVER heard. Everything is just right - the character, the emotions, the everything! And so inspiring! Bravo!

You may or may not know that the the National Youth Orchestra of the USA post dated and was inspired by the creation of Doctor Jose Antonio Abreu, the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela. Check out this version of Bernstein's West Side Story for comparison purposes. kzread.info/dash/bejne/h56Cy5Odm9m6k9o.html The search for the documentary video of the orchestra, Tocar y Luchar. kzread.info/dash/bejne/oX17t7qaoNavXaw.html. You will be amazed. Sadly the tyrant Maduro has cancelled the program, probably Venezuela's best ambassadorial program. More sadly, Doctor Abreu died this past month (March 2018).

5:29-- lovely!! So much emotion + flawless execution!

Love how the conductor, David Robertson, is having such a blast leading his young musicians through this amazing score! Just beautiful!

Congrats to each and every one of them. Stunning playing of a timeless masterpiece of musical theater. Ah...youth.

roughly half an hour ago, I've been to a place where this was performed live by the Halle orchestra. I will truly never forget tonight, and I of course had to go right to youtube to listen to this phenomenal piece again. Blew my mind completelt, I loved every single second of it, at the edge of my seat i could not contain myself from grinning wildly, every crescendo lifting my soul to the very ceiling

So glad to have discovered this! The communication between conductor and instrumentalists is palpable and so exciting! I've lost track of how many times I've watched this! Amazing!

I'll be playing at Carnegie hall next year I'm so excited

Sempre me emociono ao ouvir essa sinfonia de Leonard Bernstein...Genial! Essa interpretação em especial, pelo fato de ser executada por jovens talentosos.

WOW! Such talented players.All of them with their long playing lives ahead of them. Thank you. (By the way, this is STILL my favourite musical of all time!)

absolutely wonderful !!

Truly amazing!! Just beautiful, and thank you for sharing this video. :-)

Exquisitely performed!...by kids!!! Best musical of all time.

Bravo! Wonderful young musicians!

What a masterpiece :"""")

Happy 100th year birthday "Lennie"! You certainly earned yoiur wa y into the Pantheon of Musical Greats/Geniuses a long time ago. And you were certainly a brilliant conductor of the NY Philharmonic and that Vienna orchestra.

Stupenda orchestra, ottimi esecutori e musica celestiale

You guys play music with all your heart, bravo :) i'm a fan of yours :) we also have that piece but unfortunately after so many years i didn't have the chance to play it again,

Masterful composition masterfully executed. The concert black/red is 🔥

Wow! Super!

Se Leonard Bernestein estivesse vivo, ficaria muito contente de ver sua obra sendo executada com tanta originalidade e capricho. Parabéns pela brilhante regência, parabéns pela belíssima execução dos músicos.

I played this piece with the U.K. NYO and to be honest I prefer your arrangement

Lots of criticism but nobody has mentioned conductor David Robertson. HE stirs the pot. If you don't care for the styling of this performance, lay it on him. The kids are terrific and, for me, so is he. These are high school kids together for 2 weeks only.

This looks like massive fun to play and a massive headache to keep together

Great :)

Hi, what means choke cymb (warning: not chokeD cymb) at the beginnig of Symphonic Dances? I guess a SPLASH cymbal. Not a normal muffled suspended cymbal (the note is different on the five lines system; in addition on the same score we see a "choke cymbal" with legatura meaning "let it vibrate"!!) nor a Hi-hat (when Lennie want an hi-hat he simply write hi-hat). Thanks

1. Im pretty sure that was a guy (notice the uniform) 2. Im also pretty sure he was turning the page.

Clearly I'm out of place here compared the the comments so far, but this performance comes across as way too technically clean. If anyone, it's teenagers who know how to party and are full of unexpressed passion but I don't feel/ hear/ see any of that (except, possibly, the flute player in "Cool"). Such a pity. My heart sinks if this represents the kind of live music societies in the USA can expect in years to come. C'mon guys - let go! Be passionate! Show the love and hurt you can't express with words! Party! Being technically brilliant is only the beginning of music.

***** Fair point! Actually, I am more disappointed with the overly gushing and somewhat artificial praise of the commentators below rather than the performers. This may be the "Best performance... I have EVER heard" for some, but then I guess that doesn't say much for the performances that have been heard to date. And, not to be too contrary, there are a vast number of orchestras made up of teenagers throughout the world who do let go, are far more passionate, and less clinical than this orchestra - particularly in the UK and South America. I see no reason to give this bunch of talented young folk a false impression that they are the absolute best, when they are clearly not by global standards.

+Stephen P Brown Which youth Orchestras do you speak of? I believe all are entitled to opinions but if you speak of say, Dudamel's Simón Bolívar Orchestra from the El Systema Program, many of the artists that make up this orchestra are no longer youth musicians, contrary to popular belief. I believe the average age of that group is now somewhere around 24. I digress, I think the point here is that CH has created a spectacular program for our Nation's young musicians, and they perform as well as anyone else, objectively speaking. I may be biased, but I think Maestro Robertson did a spectacular job leading this Orchestra; he did just win a Grammy, so he must be doing something right...
