A Caped Prima Donna, but he Loved Music, and it Shows!
|
Using interviews with his son and daughters, his brother, the writers, choreographers, and conductors he worked with, and many of his friends, and clips of his rehearsals and performances, we see the life of a very talented, but troubled genius.
His personal life was torn between wanting to be a family man and good father, versus his strong attraction to the gay lifestyle. His musical life was likewise pulled in several directions: he wanted to be a conductor, composer, and a teacher.
Remarkably, he succeeded rather well at everything he tried. Like so many geniuses, he was both arrogant at times, and then at other times, insecure. For all his exceptional abilities, he was a human being, troubled by trying to figure out just how he should fit into the world.
If you love and appreciate Leonard Bernstein, you should find this a very good view of his life. Even if you have had doubts about his temperamental, caped, grand "prima donna" side, this will help you become more sympathetic to his struggle to understand himself. |
