As some of the commenters pointed out, if she can't breathe or get the words out, then what's the point? His reply ("It doesn't matter - nobody can hear the words anyway") is just plain embarrassing. Of course, Bernstein had his moments, but his lapses of taste put him far down the ladder for me.
OTOH, I used to have Christa Ludwig's recording (along with her husband, Walter Berry) of Mahler's Des Knaben Wunderhorn - a double LP with Bernstein conducting the orchestral version and also playing the piano version. I was impressed by his playing on the piano versions of the songs, because some of them are pretty darned awkward to play. (I know from experience!)
