BBC Symphony Orchestra performs Bernstein at Saffron Hall
Composer, conductor, showman: Leonard Bernstein was the ultimate musical all-rounder.
To celebrate his 100th birthday, the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Roderick Cox play the music he loved – Gershwin’s swinging Rhapsody in Blue – and the music he wrote: a rare performance of his Bible-inspired first symphony.
