The best recordings are those with The New York Philharmonic of Charles Ives's orchestral works and Aaron Copland's Third Symphony, "Quiet City" suite for horn and strings, and the El Salon de Mexico ballet suite. But I also admire Bernstein's recordings with the Los Angeles Philharmonic of Gershwin's great classical/jazz orchestral works like "Rhapsody in Blue" and "An American in Paris", and the recordings of several other Copland scores, most notably, "Appalachian Spring".

Lenny could generate excitement for music like few others (Stokowski could) and his advocacy for American music propelled awareness for our great composers. Of course, there have been advocates of American music since Lenny's passion and much of it has been quite good, but no one touches Bernstein's enthusiasm, consummate skill and color palette.This collection, unfortunately oop, is essential and a dream come true.

One can easily visualize the great American landscapes while absorbed in Lenny's edifying performances of Copland, Harris, Schuman, Rorem, Barber, etc. Those landscapes encompass the traditional West (Copland), the modern west (Harris), rural America (Schuman), dissonant America (Ives) and Jewish America (Bloch). This is Americana at its most beautifully diverse. You will not find a better performance of Copland's "Appalachian Spring" or...

However, I am no expert on Classical music. But to me, this bargain set of American music conducted by Bernstein is excellent. I have enjoyed each disc on multiple listens. I would highly recommend it. |
