The Music of Leonard Bernstein

You Don’t Have To Be Jewish

Available for over a year

Michael Freedland takes an in-depth look at the Jewishness of the music of Leonard Bernstein, guided by musicologist Alexander Knapp. This is a programme from the BBC archive, originally broadcast on BBC Radio in the 1980s. Aspects of the programme reflect the time when it was made and due to rights considerations, the music may be shorter than in the original programme.
