‘Orchestrating Maestro: Music & Conversation’ was the victory lap the Leonard Bernstein project deserved, in the place he once called home.
Conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin led members of the New York Philharmonic through pretty much every musical cue in the seven-time Oscar-nominated picture. That’s a run-through of a great many excerpts from Leonard Bernstein’s oeuvre, including Broadway works like On the Town and West Side Story, the ballet Fancy Free, operetta Candide, and genre-defiant opus Mass, plus chunks of Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 5 and Robert Schumann’s Manfred.
In the moment, though, I recognized this was a smart move; this event was a celebration of the film, after all, and as the essence of the entire drama is packed into these few wordless moments, the roving camera examining Bradley-Lenny’s sweat-drenched face as he rides each symphonic wave was more spectacular than ever. Here’s a little taste of it, as a reminder: And just in case you never saw the original, here’s Bernstein offering proof that Cooper really isn’t exaggerating this too much.
