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.

Episode 1 - What Makes Music Symphonic?

By using the examples of Mozart's Jupiter Symphony and Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony, Leonard Bernstein demonstrates the techniques of repetition and variation in the development of symphonic music. After conducting part of Tchaikovsky's "Romeo and Juliet" Fantasy Overture, he asks the audience to sing "Frère Jacques," demonstrating the uses of sequence and imitation in symphonic composition. Concluding by playing and analysing the final movement of Brahms' Second Symphony.

Originally aired on CBS Television Network, December 13, 1958.
