Tchaikovsky, Andante cantabile

Winner of a prestigious Emmy Award in 1976, Leonard Bernstein's recording
of Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony and Andante cantabile with the New York
Philharmonic was filmed live at Avery Fisher Hall on 24 April 1975.
Bernstein had the entire string section play the Andante cantabile,
originally for string quartet, thus taking up a practice begun by Arturo
Toscanini many years before. In his later years, Bernstein came to identify
as closely with Tchaikovsky as he had with Mahler, and gave searingly
intense interpretations of both composers.
