Leonard Bernstein was a force of nature: an extraordinary Renaissance man whose impact endures in many fields, from symphonic and popular composition to television to teaching to - perhaps above all - conducting. He first burst on the national stage in 1943 when he conducted the New York Philharmonic, as a last minute substitute, and he remained with that orchestra throughout his life, forever linking their legacies. This collection of essays explores Bernstein's remarkable career and its impact on America and the world, through the lens of the Philharmonic. Included are nearly 150 images, many previously unpublished, as well as excerpts from writings, personally marked scores, and manuscripts. The man and his times are seen as never before through the intimate recollections of his brother, Burton Bernstein, alongside distinguished contributors John Adams, Paul Boyer, James Keller, Joseph Horowitz, Bill McGlaughlin, Carol Oja, Tim Page, Alan Rich, and Jonathan Rosenberg.
