Classical Music Playlist, August 25, 2023

Leonard Bernstein
 

Leonard Bernstein
Today would have been Leonard Bernstein's birthday, born August 25th in 1918. We're celebrating with music that he composed or conducted throughout the day. Including the over half-hour opening movement of Gustav Mahler's 3rd Symphony, which he described as the arrival of Spring and the triumphant entry of Summer. It’s such a masterfully self-contained musical statement that we’ll feature just that first movement, conducted by Bernstein, for today’s Midday Masterpiece.

There's also going to be a movie about Leonard Bernstein titled "Maestro" starring and directed by actor Bradley Cooper. Watch a preview HERE!
