Watch the real maestro: Leonard Bernstein conducts Mahler

In his latest film, “Maestro,“ director Bradley Cooper stars as legendary conductor-composer Leonard Bernstein. The Netflix film (which opens in theaters November 22) features a recreation of Bernstein leading a historic performance of Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 in C minor, the “Resurrection Symphony.“ In this archival footage of the 1973 performance, recently restored, Leonard Bernstein leads the London Symphony Orchestra in the conclusion of Mahler’s 2nd, with soprano Sheila Armstrong, mezzo-soprano Janet Baker, and the Edinburgh Festival Chorus, at Ely Cathedral in Cambridgeshire, England. The full performance (as well as other Bernstein recordings as conductor, pianist and composer) is available on Carnegie Hall in 4K Ultra High Definition with Surround Sound. @carnegiehallplus4101 @LeonardBernsteinOfficial Don’t miss Mo Rocca’s @CBSSundayMorning interview with Bradley Cooper about the making of “Maestro“:
