I’m an oldster and something of a Bernstein stan. I didn’t object to the portrayal of his various flamboyances as much as I missed a sense of his being deeply anchored in his art. There was a passing touch as he sat at the piano finishing his Mass, but where was the man who converted the Lone Ranger” theme song to the William Tell Overture to NOTES, basic building blocks, for all of us little kids on our living room floors? I missed him; we see him anchored in (all the oddities of) his marriage; but they were both so much more and so much less silly than they seem here. So I agree with all three reviewers on this one but especially Peter: the score wins!
