Bernstein examines the "Faust" Symphony and suggests that Liszt himself was a kind of Faust. Each of the three movements - "Faust," "Gretchen," and "Mephistopheles" - are analyzed and performed.
Bernstein was amazing. Incredible knowledge and musicianship it is almost too good to be true. Out if this World. He was a gift to this World. One we will never see again. And so lovingly in his giving and teaching.
Yes, Bernstein was the rage in those days, when The Young Peoples Concert was an educational tool for young minds..would that we today had the same passion for the Classics..instead of this, sorry to say, garbage that is far from any definition of music..
