Young People Concerts with Bernstein on PBS

[Franh214]

Does anyone know whether recordings were made of the Young People Concerts where Berstein explained what he believed Beethoven was doing in each of his symphonies and if so, where could the recordings be obtained?

Hi Franh,

I just googled and think this may be what your are looking for. Talks by Bernstein on Beethoven, in several parts. The first talk is on Beethoven's 5th symphony.
I hope this is helpful and thank you for your enquiry, it is very interesting.

I currently have several VHS tapes of some of these concerts. You can get them at Amazon, as well, and I'm sure other places will have them:
