Gavazzeni and Bernstein

Presenting Leonard Bernstein’s book Scoperte, the Italian edition of “Findings” curated by Giovanni Gavazzeni (Il Saggiatore Publishers), was also an opportunity for Amici della Scala to pay tribute, in September 2018, to one of the greatest figures of the 20th century.  The personal memories of Giovanni Gavazzeni and the reflections made upon the great musician’s art and character, were at the centre of an event of great interest, opened by Anna Crespi’s recalling of an encounter with the unique Lenny. In the audio, Gavazzeni describes two traits of Bernstein’s personality.
