In his latest film, “Maestro,” director Bradley Cooper stars as legendary conductor-composer Leonard Bernstein. The Netflix film (which opens in theaters November 22) features a recreation of Bernstein leading a historic performance of Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 in C minor, the “Resurrection Symphony.” In this archival footage of the 1973 performance, recently restored, Leonard Bernstein leads the London Symphony Orchestra in the conclusion of Mahler’s 2nd, with soprano Sheila Armstrong, mezzo-soprano Janet Baker, and the Edinburgh Festival Chorus, at Ely Cathedral in Cambridgeshire, England.
The full performance (as well as other Bernstein recordings as conductor, pianist and composer) is available on Carnegie Hall+ in 4K Ultra High Definition with Surround Sound. @carnegiehall

Lenny had the hair for it.
Thank you for this film. The sheer genius of Leonard Bernstein is monumental.
Is the music not synced to his conducting? I don’t hear the beats aligned with his tempo.
Absolutely brings me to tears.
.. conducting while smiling .. ladies and gentlemen … mr Leonard Bernstein !!!!!!
Spellbinding beyond belief.
Extraordinario. Lo mas
After dis he changes clothes n' hits the gay bars n' shimmies to da dance music 😆
What a glorious performance. Remarkably it was the Utah Symphony under Maurice Abravanel and Cardinal Records that brought world wide attention to this masterpiece. It also featured a young Beverly Sills and was among the first recordings to use Dolby noise reduction.
I love the hear the music after the final note is struck – hearing the chord ring out into the the vastness of the space and perhaps beyond our own physical world and into the endless spirit world. Music for the angels and the saints who have gone before.
😍😍😍
I have always wondered how the Mahler cycle done by MTT and the SFSO has been received. Awhile back, while MTT was at his peak as the Conductor for SFSO, I'd fly from L.A. to S.Fran to see many of his performances, but I don't think I was ever at his Mahler perfs. I performed a Mahler Choral piece w/ Dr. Frank Green at Wash. State Univ. chorus in the early 1970s….I just can't remember what it was, nor did I know anything about Mahler's background / legacy / discography at the time……early in my own career. A lot has changed.
I adored his Young People's Concerts when I was a child. He gave me a life-long love of classical music.
Sublime
Bradley Cooper's arm waving version of this did not work at all in the film, looked ridiculous! whereas a maestro actually understanding and conducting the music does not, no comparison imho.
Perhaps my favourite quote from a music teacher:
"As a teacher, I reserve the right to be wrong!"
-Leonard Bernstein
Look at me, look at me, look at me, type of conducting.
Ely not Carnegie
Sublime, divine. It is energy vibrating as sound in its most splendor and glory ! Mahler and Bernstein were used as conduits to bring this heavenly gift to mankind.

The finest 8 minutes of classical music ever written.
it's unfortunate that such a great talent was a poale smoaking homosexual.
divine lenny
Love it! Seems superfluous today when conductors dance on the floors doing basicly nothing AND its sounds amazing.. Its another time. really…
INEFÁVEL 🎉
Bradley cooper f’ed it up royally
Non il film,ma solo la realta' da lui resa possibile. Solo questo per me e un caro ricordo sempre!
Came to the original to see if Bradley cooper was doing a bit too much, and it looks like he was…

Bradley Cooper was so cringe doing this
Nice to see Olivia Colman before she made it big
