Why This CD Matters
This live recording captures Leonard Bernstein leading the Boston Symphony Orchestra at Tanglewood on August 19, 1990, his final concert. The program pairs Benjamin Britten’s atmospheric Four Sea Interludes from Peter Grimes with Beethoven’s propulsive Seventh Symphony. The Beethoven symphony was the last work Bernstein conducted publicly.
