I was fortunate to meet Leonard Bernstein a couple of times and was surprised how inquisitive he was. This interview really helped me understand where that quality came from. Thanks for this!
My wish is someone would create a play or movie that seeks to portray Lenny as Alex and Jaime knew him. The connection between Jewish life of endless questioning and his love of texts was spot on. Excellent. The backstory on how hard it was for Lenny to be alone. How his extroverted self sought to compose with theater buddies or to party at the keyboard with four hands. It all makes sense. Lenny’s inner self could meet the demands of his extroverted self with orchestras to breathe new life into Mahler and his sense of life in Vienna as a Jew at the turn of the 20th Century. It all makes sense.
I'm just looking up Lenny's history and his "children's" interviews (of course they are all older now). This is so interesting. I've seen alot of footage of Leonard Bernstein conducting, and it is great!
He is soooo like his dad! But i see both mum in all of rest of children as well. A lovely lady, Felicia! Handsome family altogether. ❤❤❤

A wonderfu insight into a father and son music musical world.
Thank you all.
So great to see Alex after all these years. We missed him at our 50th Williston reunion!

Einfach herzlich, wie Lenny. Danke für dieses Gespräch.
Gerne :-)
Alexander Serge Leonard looks like his uncle Bertie, actually.
His facial expressions are very similar.
Looks like Lenny but without the hair

He has his mother's eyes
