Martin Bookspan: My friends Leonard Bernstein & Aaron Copeland
By Recorded Sound Archives, July 1, 2013 10:02 am
Martin Bookspan had life-long friendships with two great classical music geniuses, Leonard Bernstein and Aaron Copland.
As the voice of the PBS television series Live from Lincoln Center from 1976 to 2006, Martin Bookspan riveted audiences with his eloquently distinctive voice and extensive knowledge of classical music. The N.Y. Times (May 24, 2006) described Bookspan as “One half erudite informer, the other half grandfatherly guide, [who kept audiences] tuned in during intermissions with easy-to-digest program notes and anecdotes.”
A generous supporter of the Judaica Sound Archives at Florida Atlantic University Libraries, Bookspan spoke before a sold-out audience at FAU Libraries’ 2013 Kultur Festival in March.
