Notes
Taped with an invited audience for broadcast on CBS Oct. 25, 1959. Some Soviet musicians joined the NYP on stage. This show concerned the similarities between Russians and Americans through their music.

Shostakovich was present at the concert; film clips of Pasternak from the farewell concert that evening were also shown as part of the broadcast of the performance.

Bernstein talked during the first half and played excerpts. Taping ended at 6pm due to complications with the camera equipment.
