On January 1958, Leonard Bernstein leading the New York Philharmonic broadcast for first time the Young People’s Concerts, introducing an entire generation to the joy of classical music. In a similar spitit, this “podcast”, is an attempt to archive in audio form the 53 performances that we were lucky to get, and in this way, provide a new generation with Bernstein’s incredible lectures. The material belongs to the NYPhil and Unitel Entertainment, and I don’t wish to gain anything from it. My only purpose is to share the incredible work that Bernstein and the Philharmonic gave to us.
