Justus Franz: Lenny Bernstein fell in love with me

Justus Franz: Lenny Bernstein fell in love with me

The German pianist and conductor is leaking snippets from his forthcoming authorised biography. He is open about his relationship with both women and men, among them an affair with Bernstein:

‘I had an intellectual and artistic friendship with Lenny.I know that Lenny had fallen in love with me. [We had] an ‘unbreakable bond’.

Hm.

Not much new about that.

‘Men can have a great attraction for me,’ he told the Hamburg Abendblatt.
