Looking for some knowledgeable comments on Lenard Bernstein and the VPO. Public TV in Dallas ran a program on Bernstein including his time as conductor of the VPO. According to the program when Bernstein tried to introduce Mahler to the VPO he met with a lot of resistance from its members and spent a lot of time convincing them it was music worthy of the VPO.
Is that an accurate portrayal of the post WWII VPO? _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
