A Love of Music Making

Leonard Bernstein represents the ultimate musician, from writing ‘West Side Story’ through to presenting a series of Harvard music lectures, to his conducting and performances as a pianist – he showed us that music is a thoroughly holistic affair. In this essay, Benjamin Dwyer explores the American icon’s life, work, political affiliations and achievements.

 

Not Your Ordinary Megalomaniacal Psycho

Irish National Opera presented the Irish staged premiere of Bartók’s ‘Bluebeard’s Castle’ on 12–14 October, with its luminous music and dark folk-tale of castle doors revealing the inner world of the protagonist. The production came with a twist, however, writes Adrian Smith.
