Sommario/riassunto

In this book, Kenneth LaFave guides readers past Bernstein's famously tortured personal problems and into the clarity and balance of his "Serenade after Plato's Symposium for Violin and Orchestra", the intense drama of his music for. On the Waterfront, the existential cosmography of his three symphonies, and his vibrant works for the musical stage.
