Leonard Bernstein was arguably the most highly esteemed, influential, and charismatic American classical music personality of the twentieth century. Conductor, composer, pianist, writer, educator, and human rights activist, Bernstein truly led a life of Byronic intensity-passionate, risk-taking, and convention-breaking. In November 1989, just a year before his death, Bernstein invited writer Jonathan Cott to his country home in Fairfield, Connecticut for what turned out to be his last major interview-an unprecedented and astonishingly frank twelve-hour conversation. Now, in Dinner with Lenny, Cott provides a complete account of this remarkable dialogue in which Bernstein discourses with disarming frankness, humor, and intensity on matters musical, pedagogical, political, psychological, spiritual, and the unabashedly personal. Bernstein comes alive again, with vodka glass in hand, singing, humming, and making pointed comments on a wide array of topics, from popular music ("the Beatles were the best songwriters since Gershwin"), to great composers ("Wagner was always in a psychotic frenzy. He was a madman, a megalomaniac"), and politics (lamenting "the brainlessness, the mindlessness, the carelessness, and the heedlessness of the Reagans of the world"). And of course, Bernstein talks of conducting, advising students "to look at the score and make it come alive as if they were the composer. If you can do that, you're a conductorand if you can't, you're not. If I don't become Brahms or Tchaikovsky or Stravinsky when I'm conducting their works, then it won't be a great performance." After Rolling Stone magazine published an abridged version of the conversation in 1990, the Chicago Tribune praised it as "an extraordinary interview" filled with "passion, wit, and acute analysis." Studs Terkel called the interview "astonishing and revelatory." Now, this full-length version provides the reader with a unique, you-are-there perspective on what it was like to converse with this gregarious, witty, candid, and inspiring American dynamo.

圖書標籤: 音樂 Music Leonard_Bernstein 訪談 英文原版 潛水 小說 古典音樂
圖書館藉的實體書。 Bernstein 晚年的一次晚餐訪談,聊瞭天南海北的許多東西,比如關於政治啊等等,比較 random。總體來講沒有 bernstein 自己寫的作品有意思。不過也有一些比較有意思的內容,比如關於 mahler 的內容,還有關於 glenn gould 以及那次經典的 1962.4.6 在卡內基 hall 和古爾德閤作 brahms 第一鋼協的整個事件的詳細來龍去脈。
評分Glenn Gould到Bernstein傢給他彈那個無比非主流版本的Brahms鋼一,然後帶著一頂帶瞭一萬年不脫的帽子。Bernstein的夫人不能忍,巧妙地勸服瞭Gould,給他洗瞭頭,齣來麵目煥然一新,Bernstein稱: and twenty minutes later, this gorgeous creature, this angel with golden hair, now walked back into the room. 想看這一類八卦小故事的話,可以選擇看這本書,書本身寫得不怎麼樣就是瞭。
評分放瞭四年,終於把這本fire survivor翻齣來。一口氣讀完,居然會眼淚汪汪,可能是因為伯恩斯坦那種美式活力和坦率。Lenny we love you.
評分博大的胸懷,驚人的記憶力,對音樂、文學和社會深刻的見地。伯恩斯坦的偉大在這個深夜長談中得以淋灕展現。文末對他去世葬禮的簡短描述讓人無限唏噓。
