I saw him live conduct Krakow Philharmonic in 1992 when he was it's artistic director and principal conductor, It was amazing. I saw him also conduct this piece on TV at the concert for Pope John Paul II. Sir Levine was Pope's friend.

A very good performance and a great quality video... The boy soloist was incredible! This deserves way more views.

Just ran across this. What a joy to listen to. You could feel and see the joy in the singers and conductor as they made wonderful music together. Bravo!

16:15 gorgeous soprano. What a wonderful conductor. You can see the chorus loves him.

A superb performance. And the enjoyment is increased by a video of a conductor and chorus who are enjoying making music.

This is The Best version of the 1st movement EVER !!!!

It could be one of the best had sir Levine not ignored the tempo marking of the introduction - a quater = 60. He rushed it to over 100 which is almost double the speed the composer meant and also conducted so himself.

@@fisarmonica5703 i agree. Too fast!

I'm sure the soloist was thrilled to wear whatever the heck that is.

Clapping between between movements! AGH!

My God. How dare people appreciate music in the moment! This mid-20th-century abomination of a "rule" of concert-going needs to die.

@davidjsward 3 года назад

Terrible rule that needs to die.

In many ways a wonderful performance, but OMG the absence of the boy choir is terribly felt. The boys add a color to the choral sound that so palpably intensified the celebratory quality of this most joyful music.

I agree, this piece really should be sung with the original trebles. However, it's difficult to get hold of them, at least here in the UK, if you're not affiliated with the church. Any boys interested in singing at 6/7/8 are funnelled through the cathedral choir school system and local amateur choirs can't just take them out and return them like library books. I'm currently trying to persuade the choir I'm in to perform the Chichester Psalms- I think they're a bit scared of the Hebrew- but I know full well some arse will come up at the end to complain about the lack of boys. If we could get them, they'd be there. I am hoping we can find a boy soloist though, he's the voice of David in the piece and it doesn't sound right sung by a woman, even if she cuts the vibrato right down. Perhaps I could hang around outside Canterbury Cathedral with a big net...

I listened to a Bernstein-conducted version earlier today and it sounded like the boy soloist would probably be a tenor or even baritone the next morning. (You never know when they'll drop and you are different the next day!) Also the performance was a bit messy. This one is much tighter. Very exciting to listen to.

@katieroberts7012 Год назад

The audio is much worse quality, which especially hurt the second movement with all the moving parts. In this one, you can hear all the details!

Was Nancy Pelosi in the balcony?!

@jerrera45 3 года назад

Yes it was!

@BytomGirl 7 месяцев назад

Yes, can't stand looking at her

@dominiklau7446 2 года назад

1st movement sounds like Sir Gilbert Levine has never read the score.

@JM-iz5kt 5 лет назад

Who is that in the audience at 4:41? I think I see two known celebrities.

@kylehancock1458 5 лет назад

US House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. I am fairly sure this was performed in May, 2014. www.georgetown.edu/news/may-concert-celebrates-canonization-of-popes.html
