To know Bernstein from his work was to see a brilliant artist with the phenomenal ability to communicate through words and music. To know him personally was to see a complex and often conflicted man. No one has a better perspective than the conductor’s daughter Jamie Bernstein. Her memoir, “Famous Father Girl: A Memoir of Growing Up Bernstein,” explores the lasting legacy of Bernstein.
She joined “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes from NPR NY to talk about her memoir and the worldwide observance of Leonard Bernstein’s centennial.
