This interview is from 1986, four years before his death. Near the beginning of this interview Bernstein says his mother, Jennie Resnick Bernstein, was 88 (she was born in 1898, and died in 1992 at the age of 94). Always a pleasure to hear this brilliant talented man.
Lenny is my role model to this day. I learned so much from him and still do today. I will never forget his master class in my life. Lenny: I love you. Rest in peace
Extraordinaty to listen from his own words, his anecdotes, jokes , his own Biography of this musical genious. We are lucky people thanks to the globalization.
This man was a genius. He could conduct Callas at La Scala, create masterpieces of Musical Theatre - the great American art from and reinvent the entire classical repertoire with incandescent performances.

Wow! Imagine if we had an interview with Shakespeare! This is a treasure!
Would love to see a dramatized film of his life
Tyler Leswing Nothing could ever compare with his real life...ever.
In December 2023, MAESTRO starring Bradley Cooper as Bernstein premieres on Netflix. So far , reports are very favorable.
A recording of Lenny's fill-in conducting gig with the NYP exists and is available on CD.
Looking forward to the second part! Thank you for posting this interview!
i am always wondering what leonard bernstein thought about pink floyd...
I love that he says " Don Quick sote by Strauss ".
Bruno Volte. My favorite conductor! Bernstein was planning on coming out as gay after his mother died. She outlived him.
This is LB outside of the high-culture bubble of Humphrey Burton's Omnibus, among the masses who know only a limited amount about his life's work.
L'amour de Bernstein pour son piano d'enfance.
I hope second part too , thank you!
I wish he elaborated on what jobs he held before music.
This is circa 1987
From humble roots to pomposity. He was a natural.
he has a very interesting accent
Who was the interviewer here? I don't think it's Humphrey Burton.
I think it's a British TV and radio presenter Bob Holness, the great presenter of the TV series Blockbusters.
@@The80sBoy You're absolutely right - in the preamble to part two of this interview, Mr Holness identifies himself. "I'll have a P please, Bob!"
Bernstein was heart broken by the death of his wife in the early 80s.
Willard Steele Please ...Maestro Bernstein's wife Felicia died in 1978.
well she was heart broken when he carried on with all those men. That surely shortened her life
Funny how dated the UK guy's accent sounds, whereas Lenny sounds as he always has, modern.
Who is the host?
+Michael Doyle the host was Bob Holness, the late TV and games show presenter from the UK.
Thanks very much.
