Abstract
"Just before the Pacific Music Festival for young musicians was inaugurated in June 1990, Leonard Bernstein fell seriously ill. But despite his doctors' warnings, he refused to let his 'kids' down and flew to Japan. With unbelievable intensity, passion, wit and charm, Bernstein worked with the youth orchestra on Schumann's Symphony No. 2, one of his favorite orchestral pieces. This historic program is the last visual record of the Maestro at work shortly before his death four months later"--Container.
