Leonard Bernstein : an American musician

Shawn, Allen2014
Book
Leonard Bernstein stood at the epicentre of 20th-century American musical life. His creative gifts knew no boundaries as he moved easily from the podium, to the piano, to television with his nationally celebrated Young People's Concerts, which introduced an entire generation to the joy of classical music. In this biography, the breadth of Bernstein's musical composition is explored, through the spectacular range of music he composed - from 'West Side Story' to 'Kaddish' and beyond; and through his intensely public role as internationally celebrated conductor.
