In The Private World of Leonard Bernstein, Leonard Bernstein, conductor, composer, virtuoso pianist is seen as only few have been privileged to see him - off stage among his family and friends, working playing, speculating about the future. Author John Greun spent a summer in Italy with the vacationing Bernsteins, then observed the amazingly crowded routines of their life in New York and Connecticut. Ken Heyman's brilliant vivid pictures bring into full view this attractive, meditative, energetic, playful man and his extraordinary wife, children and friends. The Private World of Leonard Bernstein is a fascinating report from inside, words and pictures combining to convey the intimate experience of living under the impact of genius.
