Boulanger Trio | Leonard Bernstein | West Side Story | Mambo

We want to play some pieces that were not written for piano trio so badly that we arrange them for ourselves! During our work on our CD “Teach me! The students of Nadia Boulanger“, we ended up with the legendary Mambo from Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story. This power, this energy, this exuberance, this joie de vivre - that's what we wanted too! And that's how this video was created 😁 By the way: When Bernstein sent a score of the West Side Story to Nadia Boulanger, she responded with enthusiasm and subtle criticism: “I am enchanted by its dazzling nature – perhaps facility is a danger, but it is enough to be aware of that and follow it.” BOULANGER TRIO: __________________ #boulangertrio #bernstein #westsidestory
