Leonard Bernstein Born: August 25, 1918, Lawrence, MA Died: October 14, 1990 Biography Musical Examples Works Links ... Twentieth Century Composer Index American composer, conductor, pianist, and writer. He wrote in virtually all genres, often merging popular and classical styles. Leonard Bernstein was something of a musical polymath. In the world of Western art music he enjoyed a worldwide reputation as a conductor and a composer. He was also a great communicator, and perhaps more than anybody else he was able to explain music (especially Western art music) to a wide audience. At the same time, he created music for the Broadway stage, and successfully integrated popular styles (especially jazz) into his musical vocabulary. His conducting career progressed rapidly, and he was closely associated with the New York Philharmonic (where he served as music director from 1958 to 1969), the Israel Philharmonic, and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. He was in demand throughout the world and was the first American to conduct at Milan's La Scala opera house. Through most of his career he was a passionate supporter of contemporary music, though in his later years he also turned back to older styles, especially the late romantics such as Mahler. Bernstein also used the podium as a way to popularize the music he loved. In 1958, he began a series of televised Young People's Concerts that brought symphonic music into the homes of Americans.

Leonard Bernstein and Krystian Zimerman at Vienna's Musikverein during the recording sessions of the Beethoven Concertos 3-5 When opposites meet: Krystian Zimerman, Leonard Bernstein and the Beethoven Concertos When pianist Krystian Zimerman goes on a North-American concert tour, don't expect to hear him just anywhere. On this year's tour, he made it to all of three cities: Chicago, Toronto and New York. Though the pianist, who turned 40 on December 7, 1996, could fill concert halls in every major city, he simply prefers to limit the number of his performances to about 50 per year. Mr. Zimerman who, according to The New York Times, is "considered one of the most remarkable pianists of his generation", has many other interests which keep him from overextending himself. Fluent in several languages, knowledgeable in history and aesthetics as well as in science and acoustics, he radiates an air of scholarliness and gentility. Yet this is the pianist Leonard Bernstein chose in the late 1980s to be the soloist in his cycle of Beethoven piano concertos with the Vienna Philharmonic. Intended to conclude his Beethoven orchestral cycle, it was scheduled to be recorded by Unitel and Deutsche Grammophon. One might have expected a more extroverted soloist, but not a young pianist called a "meticulous, sometimes studied aristocrat" ("Classic CD" in a review of the concertos).

Leonard Bernstein would have celebrated his 80th birthday on August 25, 1998 Leonard Bernstein Week on Classica A week of programs airing on Germany's Classica from August 25-30, 1998 In honor of the 80th birthday of Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990), Classica begins airing a "Bernstein Week" on August 25th. Throughout the week, Classica will be showing programs that document the versatility and fascination of this great conductor, composer, teacher and performer. Born in Lawrence, Massachusetts, on August 25, 1918, Leonard Bernstein became one of the most important personalities in the musical world of the 20th century. After studying music and working as an assistant to Serge Koussevitzky, he made his professional conducting debut with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra in 1943 when he stepped in to conduct for the ailing Bruno Walter. This was the beginning of a conducting career that led him to the heights of fame. He became the first American-born and trained Music Director of the New York Philharmonic in 1958 and developed long-lasting affiliations with many other orchestras, in particular the Vienna Philharmonic and the Israel Philharmonic. He also conducted at some of the world's leading opera houses, including the Metropolitan Opera and the Vienna State Opera. Leonard Bernstein was also widely acclaimed as an interpreter of the works of others and as a composer. A champion of American music, he did much to make the works of Ives and Copland known throughout the world. With his "West Side Story", he set standards for the entire genre of the Broadway musical and often subsequently crossed the lines between light and serious music. Bernstein's dynamic conducting style made his performances unforgettable. His television series "Young People's Concerts" and numerous books introduced millions of people to classical music. Among his many achievements are his two complete recordings of the symphonies of Gustav Mahler, a composer he almost single-handedly re-established in the concert hall.

www.mfiles.co.uk Home Classical Other Styles Original ... Reviews Composer Back Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990) - formidable musician Although having a huge reputation as an interpreter and composer of classical music, Bernstein is probably most readily associated with musicals in general and West Side Story in particular. This is a modern reworking of the Romeo and Juliet story for stage and film. Full of Latin rhythms the musical manages to have New York gang members sing and dance and yet still seem tough and threatening. Anyone seeing the making of the album of West Side Story with Jose Carreras and Kiri Te Kanawa will agree with the description of Bernstein as "formidable" but he was formidable also in the sense of the breadth of his musical taste and experience and the total dedication to his art. Bernstein was a hard-working musician, starting out initially as a pianist. He studied at Harvard University where was coached by Walter Piston and Aaron Copland (with whom he formed a life-long musical association). Then at Tanglewood Music Centre he studied with Serge Koussevitzky. These influences led him from full-time performing into the art of composing. He became assistant conductor of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, where a particular event gave him instant acclaim and a widespread following. Bruno Walter was to conduct a significant concert by the orchestra which was to be broadcast live on Radio. Walter was unable to fulfil this engagement and the principle conductor (Artur Rodzinski, who had appointed Bernstein) was away, and so Bernstein was called upon to fill in. He later became the orchestra's musical director, and was to become one of the foremost conductors of the day, leading orchestras throughout the world and gaining a reputation for his interpretations of composers such as

The faculty and staff newspaper of the University of Pittsburgh Volume 34 Number 5 October 25, 2001 Lecturer details Leonard Bernstein's multifaceted, multinational career When American musical genius Leonard Bernstein died in 1990, some obituary writers, including those in The New York Times and Baltimore Sun, suggested that Bernstein had spread himself too thin, and should have focused on one area of music. "My question to them is: Which area would you have had him sacrifice? Pianist? Teacher? Conductor? Composer? He excelled at all of them," said a slightly perturbed Ken Meltzer, Pittsburgh Symphony community spokesperson. An unabashed admirer of Bernstein's, Meltzer referred to the dynamic musician alternately as "one of the great musical teachers of his era," "a first-class concert pianist," "a podium giant" and "among the top American composers" in his lecture, "The Career of Maestro Leonard Bernstein." The Oct. 18 lecture was co-sponsored by the Jewish Studies Program and the Israel Heritage Nationality Classroom committee. Meltzer punctuated his lecture with video and audio tapes of Bernstein's multi-faceted career, including his legendary debut as a conductor at age 25 when he filled in on a few hours' notice for the principal conductor of the New York Philharmonic. Meltzer said that Bernstein almost did not pursue music because his immigrant father, Samuel, opposed it. The elder Bernstein had seen musicians in Eastern Europe barely eking out a living, sometimes playing for change in the streets. No son of his would do that, Meltzer said. Samuel, who had a successful beauty supply business, tried to dissuade Leonard from studying music, actually forbidding his son from playing the piano at home. The young Leonard would sneak off to a neighbor's house to practice.
