Leonard Bernstein: the performer (8)

Watch (and listen to!) the legendary Leonard Bernstein in action in the artistic pursuit for which he may still be best known: leading an orchestra at the conductor's podium! A consummate artist and voracious music lover, Bernstein used his considerable talents in service of the "greats" of classical music and championed the arrival of modern genres and forms. In this playlist, you'll find not just repertoire standards by Schumann and Berlioz, but also some lesser known gems by the likes of Bloch and Milhaud!

Then, get to know another side of the multifaceted maestro in our corresponding playlist, Leonard Bernstein: the composer!
