This was great! It is a little misleading but that's just so you know its references. The fact it's not some transcription but like a love letter towards the original is awesome. That's how I hear it anyway. (Also the fact they made it almost all winds and took out the importance of piano is a pretty cool)
Excellent performance and arrangement. However, does the video director have access to THE SCORE? Using a wide shot to cover a lack of 'iso-cams' doesn't leave much room for, say, the clarinet solo by Victor Goines @ 4: 12 mark . . . . oh, there he is on yet another wide shot. Where's the close-up? It's not good video practice to miss the beginnings of various solos, such as the bari solo @ 4:34 mark . . . Where's your SCORE? But, I DO love the expanded orchestra . . . though, none of the extra players seem to have their instruments with them. Lush audio !! Lighting is great !
Lance Skinner for what it’s worth this is playing of a wonderful arrangement first recorded and performed by the Duke Ellington Big Band. You should check it out!
Too be honest, to say this is a classical piece or jazz piece is quite tricky. It was written for a classical ensemble, format and form with obvious jazz influences however but the composer, George Gershwin, is mostly known for writing popular american songbook and jazz standard tunes. Either way, this was originally arranged by duke Ellington and performed with his band. Hes done a plentiful amount of other classical arrangements such as the Peer Gynt suite
I’m sorry. I thought that this is the most lugubrious rendition of Rhapsody in Blue that I have ever heard. I agree that there are other ways to interpret this piece than Leonard Bernstein’s. Eumir Deodato had a really good, non traditional rendition in 1973. But this one must have George Gershwin spinning in his grave.
@@howardherrnstadt7367 The original version of Rhapsody in Blue was a sweet “Jazz Band Version” orchestrated by Ferde Grofé and played by George Gershwin with the Paul Whiteman orchestra. That was an excellent rendition but the recording from the late 1920s is primitive. Another rendition of the original Grofé orchestration by James Levine and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (with saxophones) is also outstanding. But this rendition by the JALCO is totally sour grapes.Gershwin is puckering in his grave.
Disagree strongly. But that is why it is called art. This version puts the Blue firmly back in to Rhapsody in Blue. Wonderful Afro American interpretation!
This is the Ellington/Strayhorn 1962 arrangement for the album "Will the Big Bands Ever Come Back?", which itself seems to be based on Glenn Miller's version. It probably won't change your opinion, but I'd say listen to Duke's original recording for a little more context to this performance; it's a pretty cool arrangement in my mind!

HOLY LORD THAT TENOR!!!!!!!!! her sound is so smooth its insane
Did you mean the Baritone by Paul Nedzela or the Tenor by the lady, I sadly forgot the name of?
@@snagrbuster7343 the tenor with the solo at 2:34
@@snagrbuster7343 her name is camille thurman
Camille, tenor sax, butter solo dolo 💓
Il sax da solo non serve a nulla. Tromboni e trombe... Tutta l'orchestra fa il pezzo
I love watching all the classical players smiling.
I don't know if they smile because they enter in an exotic world with some admiration, or if these smiles are slightly patronising
@@gillesd91 They smile because enjoy man. Think that someone of they can play jazz too :)
As a trumpet player, the Kisor was amazing but jesus was that tenor solo so amazing. Her sound is sooo buttery and velvety and every adjective.
One of the most mental trumpet solos heard...
Howso lol?
Esse é o excepcional músico Ryan Kisor.
Man those alto solos struck down to my soul

This is wonderful. Unlike the usual orchestral arrangements we usually hear, this version actually swings!
That's cause this is Duke Ellington's composition of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue.
That was gorgeous.
Wow 🎶🎶🎶💕💕💕💕😍😘
Amazing arrangement!!!
This is soooo sick, I just can't ... WOW

Leave it to the Lincoln Center Orchestra to completely sterilize a classic piece.
Ok boomer

May I ask how it's "sterilized"? I'm just curious what puts you off to it.
You need to listen to more music.

You haven't heard it done by a German symphony. {:-) To me it's like a "sweet" dance band version, and a very, very good one.

Just the fact that you chose the word “lugubrious” puts your comment in it’s own self-referential perspective.
