 WGBH | Backstage with Brian Bell on Erich Leinsdorf
Erich Leinsdorf became music director of the BSO in 1962, at a critical time in the orchestra's history.
After Leinsdorf's death in 1993, Brian produced this retrospective, which, in part one, touches on the conductor's background in opera, his ambitious recording schedule, and, with archival tape, his announcement from the Symphony Hall stage that John F. Kennedy had been assassinated.
Plus, he tells Brian how to reduce a three-hour opera to 30 minutes, and friends and colleagues consider the significant legacies of his tenure as BSO music director.

Lili Chookasian is the only singer on these discs to be in all three works and she is very good in the Song of the Wood Dove.
She is well supported by the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Erich Leinsdorf who are also in the other works.
The sound throughout the recording is very impressive and belies its vintage (1964 and 1965.) I have listened to the LP of the Menotti and Schönberg many times since I purchased it in the 60’s.
