Mahler, the Beatles and JFK
Julio Daio Borges
Bernstein threw himself into so many different arenas, as a composer, conductor and pianist, but also as a lecturer, communicator, writer and all-round media pundit. He embraced "high" art as well as the most populist: he wrote some of the greatest Broadway musicals of all time, including West Side Story and On the Town; an award-winning film score to On the Waterfront; and symphonies, concerti and song cycles for the concert hall. Who else could reintroduce Mahler's music to the Vienna and Berlin Philharmonic Orchestras during the day and then spend evenings at the piano playing, from memory, every Beatles song ever written?
