Today, Dr. Paul honors Leonard Bernstein, pictured here at age 27, at the time of the production of his ballet, "Fancy Free" in 1944. You will hear the entire score of "Fancy Free" on today's show, as well as the most popular songs from his musical, "West Side Story," sung by the artists from the movie's soundtrack. You will hear a piano trio by Schobert, the 18th century composer who accidentally poisoned himself, his family, and his friends at a dinner party with wild mushrooms. You will enjoy the smooth-as-silk voice of Kathleen Battle singing Brazilian songs. Mozart, Fritz Kreisler, Manuel de Falla, and Robert Schumann join the fun. Also on board are Yo Yo Ma, who bows his cello for you, and Andrea Boccelli and Sarah Brightman are up last with "Time to Say Goodbye."
