On Maestro

[image error]

At the New Yorker website, a Cultural Comment about Bradley Cooper's remarkably sensitive, true-t0-life film about Leonard Bernstein and Felicia Montealegre. Much thanks to Daniel Zalewski, for editing the piece, and to Han Zhang, for fact-checking it. This is my first online article in twelve years that hasn't been edited by Michael Agger. I'd like to express lasting gratitude for all the work he did on my behalf.
