Leonard Bernstein Life Works Best Works Photo Gallery ... Home Page Leonard Bernstein Life The American conductor, pianist and composer Leonard Bernstein had a strong influence on American musical taste, particularly in his championing of Mahler Many of his works incorporate popular American idioms and jazz rhythms. As a composer his greatest success was the musical West Side Story, a modern American version of Romeo and Juliet. Leonard Bernstein Works MIDI FILE - from "Candide": Overture He wrote three symphonies: his second symphony, The Age of Anxiety, is based on the work of the English poet W.H. Auden. The Jeremiah Symphony of 1942, with its mezzo-soprano solo, represents a religious vein in Bernstein's music. MIDI FILE - from Symphony No.2: 5th Mov. This was followed, twenty years later, by another manifest Jewish work, the so-called Kaddish Symphony. The Chichester Psalms were commissioned for Chichester Cathedral in the South of England. His theatrical setting of the Roman Mass may be mentioned alongside his later Missa brevis, based on his own incidental music for a play by Jean Anouilh.

Bernstein, Leonard (1918-1990) Introduction Bernstein was not only one of the great conductor, he was also a brilliant musician all around: pianist and composer - for film, stage, and concert hall. His music takes Aaron Copland's jazzy rhythms a step further. (Where Copland is sunnier, Bernstein is fiercer.) Works Candide overture; Symphonic Dances from West Side Story; Symphonic Suite from On The Waterfront; Fancy Free ballet: Here is one disc that contains what I consider to be the highlights of Bernstein's music. Here you have the concert hall versions of his music for broadway, film, and ballet. The New York Philharmonic are at the peak of their powers, and so is Bernstein in his conducting. This is an incredible value. (ta238@nyu.edu)

Leonard Bernstein Remembrance 11 November 1990 As you all must know by now (unless your only reading material consists of Rolling Stone and the Los Angeles Weekly ), Leonard Bernstein died October 14th. The following is a little remembrance I wrote up that evening and posted on some local bulletin boards: Just heard the sad news that Leonard Bernstein died today, aged 72. It was not unexpected, as he'd been in failing health for some time, and had been hospitalized a couple of months ago with a lung tumor and emphysema. Bernstein was a lot of things. He was a conductor, probably the best-known one to the American public. He was a composer, both of "serious" works and of musicals and those musicals include "Wonderful Town" and "West Side Story." (For the latter one, he set words by Stephen Sondheim, in case you'd forgotten!) He was also a pianist of great ability; when Aaron Copland was going to have his piano sonata premiered, and the pianist who was to have played it got sick, Bernstein learned the score, memorized it, and played the premiere in 24 hours! Bernstein was also a prolific writer on music and related subjects; his writings fill up a few books, including

Home Alexander Order Coats-of-Arms Articles ... Spiritual Corner The Pianist Wilhelm Kempff is dead The friend of Leonard Bernstein died at 95 He played often in the United States By B. John Zavrel Munich - The famous pianist Wilhelm Kempff has died at the age of 95 in Positano, Italy. The city government announced the death of the piano virtuoso on Friday, May 24, 1991. Kempff still performed at the age of 80 with his friend Leonard Bernstein in New York City. The friendship between the two has developed after the Second World War. Bernstein praised the German: "He is one of the most interesting personalities I ever met in my life." After 1945 Kempff lived in Ammerland near Munich. His adopted home became the Italian town Positano near Naples, where he suffered a stroke. Kempff was a pianist with an unmistakable, unique touch. His interpretations of piano works of the classic and romantic styles were always stamped with a highly personal style. With the pianist Cortot, also Kempff played at the opening of a great art exhibition of his friend Arno Breker in the Orangerie in Paris in 1942 in front of an international audience. Kempff is immortalized in a magnificent bronze bust by Breker. Kempff grew up in Potsdam, studied music in Berlin and received there a thorough education as a pianist. Already in the 20's he began with an extensive touring activity which took him around the world. He performed in Japan as well as in South America and in the United States. To his friends belonged Eugen d'Albert, Georg Kulenkampff, Edwin Fischer and the legendary pianistin Elly Ney. Together with Roger Peyrefitte, Ernst Fuchs, Ronald Reagan, Dr. Uta Ranke-Heinemann, Salvador Dali and other personalities, also Kempff belonged to the Order of Alexander the Great for Science and Art.

Leonard Bernstein Componisten Leonard Bernstein was een zeer talentvolle componist, pianist, dirigent en docent. Hij bevestigde de positie van Amerika in de muziekwereld als geen ander. Hij verlegde de grenzen tussen klassieke muziek en andere stijlen. Louis Bernstein is geboren in een joodse familie van Russische immigranten en woonde in Lawrence. Hij veranderde zijn naam in Leonard om verwarring te verkomen met een familielid die ook Louis heette. Als kind heeft hij in Boston pianoles gehad. Na het afronden van zijn middelbare school heeft hij op het Curtus Institute in Philadelphia een opleiding tot dirigent gevolgd samen met “maestro” Fritz Reiner. Al op jonge leeftijd bleek dat hij een groot musikaal talent was. In de jaren daarna heeft hij voor verschillende bekende orkesten gestaan. Ook heeft hij een legendarische serie concerten voor kinderen opgenomen. Behalve met dirigeren heeft hij zich ook bezig gehouden met het componeren van muziek. Naast een aantal symfoniën heeft hij kamermuziek en musical’s gecomponeerd, bijvoorbeeld de West Side Story. Een van zijn andere bezigheden was het schrijven van lesmateriaal voor uitvoerende en docerende musici. West Side Story Divertimento
