Music
Haggin, B. H. | March 9, 1957 issue

The article presents information on several concerts. Musician Leonard Bernstein devoted half of one of his programs with the New York Philharmonic to three American works. Bernstein's conducting of the orchestra through these works was an impressive demonstration of his remarkable gifts. But in a performance of musician Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 4 he exhibited, literally, an excessive intensity of his own that drove the music too hard, and an occasional lapse of taste in the form of a prettifying or sentimentalizing retardation that did the music as little good.
