Composer, pianist, author, television teacher, Harvard lecturer, cultural icon, humanist and conductor without peer, Leonard Bernstein’s versatility was legendary. He captivated Broadway and introduced middle America to classical music with his Young People’s Concerts on television. He composed three symphonies and a full-length opera, and he inspired the world’s leading orchestras to give some of the most memorable performances of the 20th century. Humphrey Burton was given exclusive access to Bernstein’s rich legacy of letters and papers, and the book draws on interviews with family, friends and colleagues to reveal Bernstein’s fascinating and complex personality.
