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 ...

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 ...

A Bernstein classic. You feel like singing it over and over and never get tired of it. An excellent musical way to communicate with God.

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 ...

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 ...

Carreras · Domingo · Pavarotti: The Three Tenors in Concert / Mehta

Giacomo Puccini, Salvatore Cardillo, ...

Decca, 1990

Better than the best.....
I sit here at my computer and try to think of superlatives adequate to accurately describe this album....and there just aren't any. It is worthy to be the best selling classical album of all time....but it's more than that. It's just a must have, a collection to soothe ...

Gershwin: Rhapsody In Blue/An American In Paris

George Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein, ...

Sony, 1990

cd- Rhapsoy In Blue Gershwin
I loved these songs since I first heard them. Especially the RAPSODY IN BLUE which I probably heard it first in the movie, An American In Paris. This cd rendition is perfect. I have it loaded on my pod as well as having the cd in my office to listen to (among others) ...

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.

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 ...

Summon the Heroes

Leo Arnaud, Leonard Bernstein, ...
