Greatness from the 3 Titans!
I respectfully agree yet disagree with Ms Barbara Eisner who wrote the review of the 3 Tenors 1990 concert. She is right that Carreras was not on par with the other 2 but that is only because at this late stage in his (Carreras) career he was not in the very fine ...
Rapture: Opera's Most Heavenly Moments
Rapture-Opera's Most Heavenly Moments
Deutsche Grammophon, 2002
Heavenly music
This is a wonderful background for any tension realeasing activity, like reading a book. So glad I purchased it.
Copland: Appalachian Spring/Fanfare For The Common Man/El Salón México/Danzón Cubano
Aaron Copland
, Leonard Bernstein, ...
Sony, 1990
Long-Time Favorite
When I was in the fifth grade, there was a district-wide competition called music memory, and one of the pieces I had to memorize for the competition was the last movement of Appalachian Spring. And I fell in love with that song. I went and bought the cassette of ...
Beethoven: The Piano Concertos [DVD Video]
Deutsche Grammophon, 2007
Elegant Beethoven from Bernstein and Zimerman
It is instructive to compare these performances to the recently released Beethoven Piano Concertos played by Vladimir Ashkenazy and the Bernard Haitink led London Philharmonic, filmed in 1974. The Ashkenazy Beethoven performances are traditional, with a larger ...

this one will surprise you!
I'll keep it simple: this album is a collection of classical music belonging to a category commonly referred to as the fanfare. Several pieces were written by the conductor, John Williams, who is famous for movie themes like Superman, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Star ...
Gershwin: Rhapsody In Blue/An American In Paris
George Gershwin
, Leonard Bernstein, ...
Sony, 1990
A glorious tribute!
To play Gershwin accurately demands from the player, the absolute domain of an invisible taste, unsaid in the score. Few pianists (and Bernstein is among them) were able to convey the listener, this savoir vivre, humor, elegance, that idiomatic atmosphere that plainly ...
Greatest Hits: Broadway
Irving Berlin
, Leonard Bernstein, ...
Sony, 1996
A Good One!
This is a very good CD, mostly because it's the original artists. I've had some that were re-recorded by no name artists that were ghastly. This one is a really good one--including the sound quality. If I had one wish, I would wish it were longer!

Definitive Recordings of Copland's Popular Ballet Scores From Bernstein, NYPO
Without question, this splendid CD is my favorite recording of some of Aaron Copland's most popular orchestral ballet scores. In Leonard Bernstein he had both a good friend and a devout ally, who successfully championed Copland's music, helping to ensure his reputation ...

No kindermusic nonsense
Best 4 dollars spent in my entire life. My 4 yr-old son absolutely loves this CD (in the car, he begs to listen to 'Benjamin Britten's drums' again and again -such whining is music to my ears!). Bernstein's narration is charming, though occasionally his explanation of ...

Who are you going to believe?
The other reviewer is just DEAD WRONG. This cd is a delight. Here's what Grammaphone had to say about it: [August 2008 CD of the Month] Here is confirmation of a pulsating talent and, perhaps, a glimpse of the future. Dudamel's charisma beats through every bar of ...

Atlantic / Wea, 1994
"But I Always Knew . . . I Will Live Life Through . . . With A Song In My Heart For You"
Before I go on with this review . . . I join the music world in mourning the passing away of a world-class operatic tenor, Luciano Pavarrotti early morning of September 6, 2007 at his home in Italy. He was 71 and had been battling pancreatic cancer, a killer ...
Schubert: Symphonies Nos. 8 "Unfinished" & 9 "The Great"
Franz Schubert
, Leonard Bernstein, ...
Sony, 2000
Magnificent! Who would have thought?
Even though critics never mention them, these readings of the Schubert 'Unfinished' and Sym. #9 could be anybody's first choice. I own a hundred Bernstein CDs and yet had passed this one over, thinking that the performances would be romantically exaggerated and out of ...
Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition; Night on Bald Mountain
Modest Mussorgsky
, Leonard Bernstein, ...
Sony, 1990
Another great Bernstein
I love Bernstein. Both the Mussorgsky's Pictures at Exhibition and A nigth in the Bald Mountain are masterpieces, and so is Ravel's orchestration of the pictures. I think Bernstein's direction excellent, so beautiful as, for instance, that (famous) by Toscanini.

Three Le Sacres from Bernstein
In the Royal Edition of Bernstein's recordings with the NY Phil., there was a hair-raising Le Sacre dating from 1958 in vivid sound with lots of impact and incredibly virtuosic playing. This was followed by a surround-sound remake with the London Sym. in 1972 as the ...

Fundamental recording icon !
I am not a hard fan of Leonard Bernstein , but there are exceptional cases like this in which you simply have yo say : Bravo Maestro ! The Candide overture is terrific . Based on the Voltaire work , the overture of almost five minutes is a tribute to the life . played ...
