Young People's Concert: "Who is Gustav Mahler?"
with the New York Philharmonic
Written and conducted by Leonard Bernstein
Introduction by Joshua Bell

Leonard Bernstein celebrates Mahler's centennial by conducting excerpts from the composer's Fourth Symphony in G and discussing his career as a composer and conductor. Soprano Reri Grist joins the orchestra in a performance of the last movement of the Fourth Symphony, William Lewis sings "Youth" and Helen Raab sings from "The Farewell," both from Mahler's "The Song of the Earth" ("Das Lied von der Erde").

In this excerpt, Bernstein discusses the conflict Mahler dealt with, being both a conductor and a composer.
