Perhaps best-known for the musical West Side Story, composer Leonard Bernstein was one of the most accomplished and influential musicians of the 20th century. For fifteen years, beginning in 1958, Bernstein attempted to turn the youth of America on to music through a series of televised performances called Leonard Bernstein's Young People's Concerts. In celebration of the 60th birthday of Dmitry Dmitrievich Shostakovich, this episode features Bernstein conducting the legendary Russian composer's Symphony No. 9. Originally broadcast on January 5, 1966, Leonard Bernstein's Young People's Concerts: Birthday Tribute to Shostakovich also includes select portions of Shostakovich's Symphony No. 7. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi
