From the Publisher
The definitive biography of one of the most influential, flamboyant, and multifaceted musical talents of the 20th century, a man whose concert hall performances inspired generations of musicians and music lovers, and whose theatrical triumphs dazzled Broadway.
From the Back Cover
With a new introduction by the author
‘Burton’s style is spare and unobtrusive: the picture he paints is a vivid one. So much energy. So much intelligence ... Burton also demonstrates that behind Leonard Bernstein’s flamboyance (and the increasingly embarrassing public behaviour) there remained honesty of purpose and generosity of spirit. This biography is imbued with the same virtues. It is a book of exceptional quality." -The Times
"Humphrey Burton has written a book worthy of a great man." - Daily Telegraph
‘This book brings Bernstein’s exuberant vitality to the page, showing why he became one of the most celebrated musical figures of the [twentieth] century." - Gramophone
‘The richness of the tapestry makes all the names, dates and places a compelling read, since at every turn we are in the company of an exceedingly alive man."- Opera
