Leonard Bernstein: Reflections (DVD) | Peter Rosen

This film is a rare personal portrait of Leonard Bernstein, who triumphed as composer, conductor, writer and teacher.In Leonard Bernstein Reflections, he discusses his Boston childhood, his musical growth at Harvard and the Curtis Institute, andthe influence of great masters like Reiner, Mitropoulos, and Koussevitzky. He shares his feelings on the primacy of tonal music,and speculates on the nature of the creative process.The spontaneous joy of his Broadway hits, the bold, spiritual quest of his orchestral works, his intensity and vitality as conductor, made Bernstein one of the central figures in twentieth century music.Never before has there been such a personal portrait of Bernstein told through his own words. It brings a renewed appreciation of this gifted man and his far-reaching influence.Repertoire (Bonus): Including a complete performance of Bernstein conducting Milhaud: Le bœuf sur le toit with the Orchestre National de France.First Prize, Miami International Film Festival, 1979CINE Golden Eagle, 1979Filmul nu are subtitrare in limba romana. / This movie does not have Romanian subtitles.
