I don't remember how Bernstein wrote this, but I'd write it with one combined time signature 6/8 and 3/4 and think that that was pretty clear. It seems cluttered to change time signatures every measure for something as consistent as this example. I'd trust musicians to understand that in a flash.

In all the versions I've seen it's 6/8 all the way through. I've seen it conducted both all in two and alternating twos and threes. Saw Bernstein on TV, in a special on PBS many years ago, conducting his "Dream Session" recordings - alternating twos and threes.
