On this day in 1990, #Bernstein conducted his final concert, his last performance was at #Tanglewood with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. For the program, a Serge Koussevitzky memorial concert, Bernstein and the BSO performed Benjamin Brittens Four Sea Interludes, from his opera Peter Grimes, as well as Beethovens Seventh Symphony. Bernstein suffered from a coughing fit in the middle of the Beethoven performance, almost causing the concert to halt, but continued onward to roaring applause. Listen here to an audio clip of Bernstein and the Boston Symphony Orchestra playing Beethovens Symphony No 7, Movement 2: Allegretto.
