Bernstein helped classical music reach millions of children through his Young People's Concerts and gained worldwide critical success as a pianist, composer, and conductor.  His multiple talents led him to established reputations as a conductor of traditional literature ([[Mozart]], [[Beethoven]], etc.), the high romantics ([[Mahler]] and Bruckner), and especially [[opera]], for which he became admired in the leading opera houses of the world.  Like [[George Gershwin]], he was eager to straddle the classical and popular music worlds and did so in music halls, [[jazz]] clubs, opera halls, television, and the avant-garde scene.<ref>Leonard Bernstein, Obituary, ''New York Times Learning Network''[http://www.nytimes.com/learning/general/onthisday/bday/0825.html]</ref>
