Rustic band? This ... ( 3 weeks ago by Sinfoniahorn)

Rustic band? This is written for orchestra. It has nothing to do with rock or pop music. You could argue that Bernstein has some jazz influence, but this is an overture. Its nice, and catchy, which is what an overture is suppose to do. People think way too hard about it.

I don't like this ... ( 3 weeks ago by bondman24)

I don't like this rendition at all. Both the composer's recordings (in LA and NY) provide much better playing and much more excitement).

The character ... ( 2 weeks ago by violinista53)

The character Candide is supposed to be kind of a simpleton, is he not?
It's a deceptive simplicity, though. I have to question whether ad80ad has ever played or done score study of this piece to know the complexity of the crossrhythms and abruptly shifting tempi.

awesome overture! ... ( 1 week ago by spanka)

awesome overture! apparently the only part of the entire operetta that bernstein orchestrated himself, though?
this brings to mind 'prelude, fugue and riffs' for me.

Is this for Candide the character from the book of the same name by Voltaire?

yes that's correct, this is the overture from bernstein's musical adaptation of the book.
