Presented by Jamie Bernstein

The composer's daughter presents a fast-paced and highly individual round-up of New York's vibrantly eclectic music scene over the past few weeks. Including:
Michael Tilson Thomas on his grandfather, Boris Thomashevsky, founder of New York's Yiddish Theatre
Harlem Gospel Choir's Sunday Brunch at BB King's Blues Club
Jewish Rap: David Krakauer and 'Klezmer Madness' at Joe's Pub
Rossini chamber music at the Metropolitan Museum
Bernstein in his own words at the New York Theater Workshop
The opening night of Spamalot, the new Monty Python musical

This edition of Fast Machine is the first in a series of quarterly musical postcards from Jamie Bernstein. 'New York is Different', and 'Treats for the Ear' are her guiding principles as she ventures intrepidly into the world's richest and most eclectic music scene. Jamie is on the A-list for anything from a new sound installation in a Chelsea warehouse, a Philharmonic Beethoven Cycle with Masur or the opening of a new Sondheim musical. These shows will wake you up. Hold on tight!

Tom Service looks at this side of Bernstein’s work and the legacy he has left.
