West Side Maestro Volume 1, "The Creative Spark " is exactly what
it describes itself to be, "a musical memoir." It is an in depth
personal examination of creative genius based upon not only the
author's own experiences studying and working with one of the 20th
century's most famous musicians, Leonard Bernstein, during the ten
most formative years of his career but also to later include the
memories of other distinguished and noted members of the music and
theatre Arts and Sciences in its brief to encompass the essence of
the Bernstein creative spark as conductor, composer, television
guru, writer, teacher and innovative thinker. Humphrey Burton,
author of "Leonard Bernstein" and director of over 170 Bernstein
documentaries and filmed concerts, writes of West Side Maestro:
"Robert Mandell's detailed analyses and level headed assessments of
Bernstein's recorded legacy and of his equally extraordinary work
as a teacher, (from The Young People's Concerts to the Norton
Lectures), break new ground in Bernstein studies and will serve as
the standard work for future generations: we owe him a huge debt of
gratitude."
