I've been watching Leonard Bernstein's Young People's Concerts lately. I'm on Disc 7 of 9 and presently enjoying the episode entitled, "A Birthday Tribute to Shostakovich." There are a few outdated remarks or jokes scattered through the programs, a comment about Sputnik, references to The Lone Ranger, that sort of thing. They're amusing. Aaron Copland has shown up live and in the flesh for a few of them. All in all they've been entertaining and educational.
