Conductor Leonard Bernstein leads the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Tanglewood Festival Chorus in a definitive rendition of one of Franz Liszt's least-known compositions, and director Humphrey Burton captures the entire concert on camera for this release of a performance originally staged at Boston's Symphony Hall on July 26, 1976. Having previously won a battle against Columbia executives to fund a recording of the piece with the New York Philharmonic in the 1960s, Bernstein was dejected when the resulting LP faired poorly in sales.
