Sydney Symphony - Best of Bernstein Tickets Sydney![]() For most of us, Leonard Bernstein’s genius lives on the stage – in the dazzling optimism of his music for Candide and the urban cool of West Side Story. But there’s another side to Lenny: the “serious” composer who wanted to write the Great American Symphony. So how did he go? The Age of Anxiety gives a clue: it’s called a symphony but it looks like a piano concerto and its narrative structure is set by Auden’s poem. This is a symphony that encompasses a quest for identity and the glitter of the jazz age. Lenny was no ordinary musician, and in this concert David Robertson gives us the best of all possible Bernstein.
