Video Pick Of The Week

Leonard Bernstein was one of the first American-born conductors to receive worldwide fame. He was a colorful character with a complex yet endearing personality, and a talent for wowing young fans with his flamboyant style and flair for teaching. From the conductor’s podium to the piano to the silver screen, his creative gifts knew no limits. In the 1950s, he fascinated a generation with his wildly popular television shows Omnibus and  Young People’s Concerts. From the podium, he offered fresh musical interpretations that proved to be an incredible boon for classical music, reviving interest in particular in the music of Gustav Mahler and advocating for the music of American composers. In his compositions, he skillfully blurred the line between popular and art music, producing masterfully-written, highly accessible works like the musicals On the Town, Wonderful Town, Candide and West Side Story. In celebration of Bernstein’s 108th Birthday on Tuesday the 25th I would like to recommend the 2016 outstanding documentary
Leonard Bernstein: Larger Than Life
a passionate portrayal of this composer and conductor, brilliant pianist, dynamic pedagogue, and de facto American ambassador to the world. The documentary includes interviews with Leonard’s children Jamie, Alexander and Nina as well as other notable figures in the music world such as Gustavo Dudamel, Stephen Sondheim and members of the Vienna Philharmonic. An accompanying booklet is included in English, German, and French
