I have never been able to find any comments or statements by Leonard Bernstein about Andrew Lloyd Webber and I always been curious about his opinions on him so I just wanted to know if anyone was better informed than me.

This was uploaded few months ago and I stumbled upon it by chance. In it ALW adresses several topics like plagiarism and I think it is quite interesting because it contains old footage so I'm posting it here just in case someone's interested.
