Symphonic Dances from West Side Story
Can a European orchestra get its groove on? Leonard Bernstein's Symphonic Dances from West Side Story can sometimes pose a difficult challenge to ensembles not used to the Latin rhythms of his song "Mambo," or the swing rhythms of "Cool." But the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra does a pretty darn good job. Today we'll hear them capture the grit, swing and groove of the Symphonic Dances from West Side Story on Performance Today.
