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. This episode originally aired on March 8, 1963 and explores music from south of the border. The Latin American Spirit Broadcast Date: March 8, 1963 features Bernstein joined by soprano Netania Davrath as he conducts pieces by Fernandez, Villa-Lobos, Revueltas, and Copland along with his own Latin-themed compositions. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi
