Summary: Great
Comment: This is an outstanding series which all parents should share with their children. Our society (children and adults) need music. Maestro Bernstein is a genius. How could parents NOT expose their kids and themselves to this series!

Summary: A must toward getting musical culture in every home
Comment: Bernstein is truly a genius. This collection shows in a detailled and very didactic manner the best way to aproach the learning and enjoying of classic music.
In specially attonishing and breathtaking "The sound pf an Orchestra" "The Sonata form" "What is a Concert" and thos parts where Bernstain performs his pianistic parts showing himself as a virtuoso.
I allready conveyed my collection to those physicians in my hospital to whom I am conducting in the world of classic music.
But most important, I gather my grand sons to initiate them in Music with this great master, Leonard Bernstein and his Young People's Concerts.

Summary: Excelent Bernstein
Comment: This is the best colection of Bernstein, as an outstanding Professor. 13 years of Music Academy at the very top. Yet, easy to understand and funny. Don't miss this set. It is a must for music lovers.

Summary: Superlative Sound & Performances
Comment: These lessons, as many have noted, are edifying and accessible to intelligent adolescents and still quite enriching to people who already know a thing or two about music. Bernstein doesn't patronize or pander to his audience, but he uses an accessible vocabulary, often with a touch of humor (and with clever examples from pop music as asides--I find that these hold up very well). But what is most impressive is the quality of the performances; these are not just lectures punctuated by brief examples, but lessons built around substantial pieces of music, such as whole movements of symphonies. There is nothing matter of fact or rote about the way the orchestra handles the music; their energy and commitment are extraordinary, even compared to other major orchestras. Also, the stereo and 5.1 mixes, except from the oldest shows (which are still quite listenable), are stunning; I wasn't expecting that. These lectures, paired with the performances, are moving--not because they are in any way sentimental, but because the performances often lift the events far beyond didacticism into something that feels supernal.

Summary: The art of teaching while amusing
Comment:
Leonard Bernstein certainly is besides a great conductor a wonderful, almost ideal, teacher. I am tremendously grateful for these series of one-hour concerts for young people, it makes my day every time I watch them.
For those, like myself, who feel that they like classical music but they don't quite understand why or what exactly of it, this is a good companion for the road of learning. It teaches and amuses; it's never boring but quick-paced. It's worth it, if only for the pleasure of listening to Mr. Bernstein speak. His introductions to pieces and little observations are paired with samples from the repertoire of the most important and varied composers world-wide.
Truly we can say that learning is a pleasure in this case. This series is a national treasure.
