I heard the live radio broadcast of this over the summer, and am looking forward to seeing it now as well. A nice program and a nice mix of stuff. Also, lots of tributes from many people who knew Bernstein, and as I recall, some very wonderful words from Audra among them.
Might have done without the de facto John Williams conducting John Williams moment (though it still fits the program thematically as a tribute), but in general, the evening is a fitting homage, not just to Lenny's music, but also to his legacy as a conductor. |
