About

In 1959 - the last season before the opening of the new ‘Great’ Festspielhaus - Leonard Bernstein came as a guest with the New York Philharmonic, of which he was chief conductor.

Bernstein’s own work The Age of Anxiety, his Second Symphony for Piano and Orchestra (with Seymour Lipkin as piano soloist, negotiating agilely a musical language that ranged from Romanticism to jazz), impressed the public as much as Dmitri Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony, in which Bernstein realised brilliantly its grandiose climaxes and plumbed its musical depths.
