Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990)
Part Five
Donald Macleod explores how Felicia Bernstein's death in June 1978, not long after the reconciliation with her husband, left a gaping void in Bernstein's life.
Bernstein began contemplating his own mortality and much of the music from his final decade is autobiographical, including a song cycle named after a remark by President Eisenhower - who preferred music with a good tune, 'not all them Arias and Barcarolles'.
