n Keeping ScoreMichael Tilson Thomas. The
landmark PBS TV series "Keeping Score" is
reminiscent of Leonard Bernstein's "Young People's
Concerts." Featuring Michael Tilson Thomas and
the San Francisco Symphony, it gives audiences
a unique perspective on the works of master
composers and how their personalities and emotions
are embodied in their music. The pilot broadcast for
the series, in two parts, is a viewer's backstage pass
to witness how a performance unfolds, followed by
a complete performance of Tchaikovsky's "Fourth
Symphony." In the Beethoven program, the viewer
is invited to discover the "Eroica Symphony" and the
circumstances surrounding its composition. The
next program shows why Stravinsky's wild rainforest
of sound in "The Rite of Spring" remains as
exhilarating and liberating as music can be, nearly
a century after its debut performance. The fourth
broadcast explores the cityscapes, landscapes, and
social and political developments that shaped the
music of Aaron Copland and its distinctly American
identity. These DVDs are filled with educational value
for music students at all levels from elementary
through college!
