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!
  
  











  



  
Bernstein Favorites: Children's Classics
Benjamin Britten, Sergey Prokofiev, ...

Sony, 1991

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 ...
  
  











  



  
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 ...
  
  











  



  
Summon the Heroes
Leo Arnaud, Leonard Bernstein, ...

Sony, 2000

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 ...
  
  











  



  
Bernstein Century - Copland: Appalachian Spring, Rodeo, etc / Bernstein, New York PO
Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, ...

Sony, 1997

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 ...
  
  











  



  
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 ...
  
  











  



  
Fiesta
Leonard Bernstein, Inocente Carreno, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2008

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 ...
  
  











  



  
Carreras · Domingo · Pavarotti: The Three Tenors in Concert / Mehta
Giacomo Puccini, Salvatore Cardillo, ...

Decca, 1990

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 ...
  
  











  



  
Leonard Bernstein - Young People's Concerts / New York Philharmonic
Bernstein, New York Philharmonic

Kultur Video, 2004

The view of a child
Being one of the fortunate children to attend the Bernstein concerts as a child I am surprised at other children of the same audience commenting as adults now. Why do they doubt children today as less able to understand what Bernstein was saying? What he is saying is ...
  
  











  



  
Beethoven: Greatest Hits
Ludwig van Beethoven, Colin Davis, ...

Sony, 1994

DON'T HESITATE TO BUY THIS CD
What can I say other than this is a great CD. Beethoven was a master and his music will live forever. Altough I don't like every single symphony he composed, I love all the pieces on this album. These selections have "fire and passion," and I listen to them over and ...
  
  











  



  
Stravinsky: The Rite of Spring; The Firebird Suite (1919)
Sergey Prokofiev, Igor Stravinsky, ...

Sony, 2004

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 ...
  
  











  



  
Ode to Freedom: Bernstein Conducts Beethoven's Ninth Symphony in Berlin
Jan-Hendrik Rootering, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1990

I will only listen to this work in private
For years, when I listened to the 9th, I would play the 1st and 2nd movements and then skip to the finale. I enjoy crisp, energetic and powerful music and the 9th has it in unsurpassed measure. And this rendition provides just that. I haven't listened to all the ...
  
  











  



  
Bernstein: Candide; West Side Story; On the Waterfront; Fancy Free
Leonard Bernstein, New York Philharmonic

Sony, 1997

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 ...
  
  











  



  
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.
