Stanley Drucker (nyphil.org)Living Legend
As conductor Gustavo Dudamel said of New York Philharmonic principal clarinetist Stanley Drucker, "He's a legend. The history of the orchestra is in him." Drucker joins us to talk about his incredibly long career — which finally comes to a close next year after 61 years with the New York Philharmonic. Also, Sara Fishko revisits Leonard Bernstein's famous debut with the New York Philharmonic in 1943, followed by the historic broadcast itself.
Living Legend: Stanley Drucker
Few musicians have enjoyed the longevity of New York Philharmonic principal clarinetist Stanley Drucker, who joined the orchestra in 1948. Drucker joins us to talk about his legendary career, and of course, his long-time collaboration with Leonard Bernstein.
Profile: Clarinetist Stanley Drucker
A Star is Born
At the age of 25, Leonard Bernstein burst onto the national stage when New York Philharmonic conductor Bruno Walter fell ill before an important concert. Filling in on short notice, Bernstein led the Philharmonic in a dynamic broadcast heard across the country. We hear that broadcast itself in its original form, as first heard on November 14, 1943.
