Leonard Bernstein - Bernstein in the 1940s Vol. 1: Blitzstein, Gillis, Ravel (1946) [2018]

This is the first of two volumes of previously unreleased broadcast performances by Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990) from the 1940s. In this volume we find him as guest conductor in two broadcasts from the late spring of 1946 with the NBC Symphony Orchestra and a male chorus which might be assumed to be drawn from the Robert Shaw Chorale.
