I will never forget the day i saw "West Side Story". But the moment when this song "I feel pretty" appeared, it made me feel lighther and captivated, but at the same time, how the composer Leonard Bernstein congratulates the singer for their contribution in this songs. My respects for him.
What a delight to listen to, Dame Kiri and cast look as they enjoyed singing it. Margaret Romaine
Kiri te Kanawa....what a beautiful voice from New Zealand ! God bless you.
Love it. I grew up with this version of the West Side Story as my mom loved the album. This song still gives me great joy!
I grew up with the version by Rita Moreno, but this album is also absolute perfectionism. I have watched many Bernstein performances, and I must say each of them is a pleasure. Everyone who is interested in music should have watched Bernstein's early 'Young people's concerts' from the fifties and sixties, where he introduces young people into the world of music. Paedagogically absolutely great !!
Leonard Bernstein is a wonderful and honourable representative of American music, art and culture.
Greetings from Europe !
@@henryseidel5469 thanks for the recommendation Henry! I'll check the young people's concerts out. Although I'm not so young anymore I've just started singing lessons so I'm looking at music in a different light now, and I'm sure these concerts will be inspiring to watch 🤗💜
@@stefaniaponitz5738 Oh my god, in your picture you are still looking very young. The 'young people's concerts' is a series of TV-programmes (some of them are still black-and white) , in which Bernstein does not only show examples of different kinds of music but gives thorough explanations on the background of the compositions. So it includes a lot of theory, but very well explained, so that everyone can follow. Originally it was made for children and juveniles, but of course adults may watch as well. Best wishes to you, and good luck !
Postscr.: How come you have got a German 'Umlaut' in your name ?? (Ö)
@@henryseidel5469 my grandfather was German. I'm Dutch so it's pretty close by. The picture is from a few years ago, I'm 42 y/o now so it's quite challenging to go into new endeavors but so far I'm seeing great results which is a lot of fun and it makes the challenges worthwhile.
I was in love with it, I bought WSS as a teenager (ate 80s.) And I loved it so much (and LB of course, because of his joy in it). O my god, I was dreaming of One heart one love as my wedding song..
Bravo Damme Kiri, Happy Birthday.
LOVELY ❤😊
happy 100 !
