Everyone knows that the more you know about an author's life and time, the more you understand and enjoy his or her works. This is also true when it comes to the composers. That is why I enjoyed the following videos so much. Not only do these videos cover the composer’s life and the times in which he lived, but they also include great interviews with musicians and conductors about the music and the composer. They are really wonderful. They are informative and enjoyable.

Just this April I discovered Leonard Bernstein's Young People Concerts. Mr. Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic did a series of television shows over a period of eleven years for CBS. These television shows were designed to teach his audience basic information that will increase their understanding about classical music and their listening enjoyment. He is successful. These are excellent videos. You will enjoy the lessons, the music, and the fun. They should be watched over and over.
