Leonard Bernstein was an American conductor, composer, pianist, music
educator, author, and humanitarian. Considered to be one of the most
important conductors of his time, he was the first American conductor to
receive international acclaim. According to music critic Donal Henahan,
he was "one of the most prodigiously talented and successful musicians
in American history".Bernstein was the recipient of many honors,
including seven Emmy Awards, two Tony Awards, sixteen Grammy Awards,
including the Lifetime Achievement, and the Kennedy Center Honor.
As
a composer he wrote in many genres, including symphonic and orchestral
music, ballet, film and theatre music, choral works, opera, chamber
music and works for the piano. His best-known work is the Broadway
musical West Side Story, which continues to be regularly performed
worldwide, and has been adapted into two (1961 and 2021) feature films.
His works include three symphonies, Chichester Psalms, Serenade after
Plato's "Symposium", the original score for the film On the Waterfront,
and theater works including On the Town, Wonderful Town, Candide, and
his MASS.
Bernstein was the first American-born conductor to
lead a major American symphony orchestra. He was music director of the
New York Philharmonic and conducted the world's major orchestras,
generating a significant legacy of audio and video recordings. He was
also a critical figure in the modern revival of the music of Gustav
Mahler, in whose music he was most passionately interested. A skilled
pianist, he often conducted piano concertos from the keyboard. He was
the first conductor to share and explore music on television with a mass
audience. Through dozens of national and international broadcasts,
including the Emmy Award–winning Young People's Concerts with the New
York Philharmonic, he made even the most rigorous elements of classical
music an adventure in which everyone could join. Through his educational
efforts, including several books and the creation of two major
international music festivals, he influenced several generations of
young musicians.
