Leonard Bernstein

 Leonard Bernstein

Leonard Bernstein was a conductor and musician. Bernstein was one of the most renowned conductors of symphonic orchestras. Bernstein would conduct orchestras with passion and intensity. (Critics would criticize his intensity while conducting. I wonder who the critics were? Maybe socialists perhaps.)

Bernstein would conduct magnificently with high energy and motivation and was noted to be among the best conductors in the 60s if not the best conductor. Bernstein not only conducted and wrote music, but also had a radio program that taught music to radio listeners.

Bernstein was noted to share his talent with radio listeners so that they could also learn about classical music. This is quite interesting seeing that some classical music aficionados tend to be conceited, yet Bernstein was humble and decided to share his knowledge of music with radio listeners.

Bernstein was interesting being a supporter of JFK in the 1960s. Bernstein expressed amazement at JFK's humility and casualness. Bernstein was able to attend a gathering held by JFK for a cellist, Pablo Casals, and described that JFK was impressive for being humble and sincere. (Listening to classical music helps relax and also allows us to learn about music. Classical music is one of the positive genres that actually helps an individual instead of discouraging them. We can choose positive music instead of discouraging and negative music.)
