Bernstein at 60 Reflects Dual Musical Identities
Leonard Bernstein turns 60 as Irving Lowens profiles two distinct composers within him. One pursues faith driven concert works like the Jeremiah Symphony and Kaddish, rooted in Jewish tradition. the other thrives on Broadway with Candide and West Side Story, marked by eclectic styles and commercial risk. He faces personal loss and the challenge of operatic ambitions.
