Leonard Bernstein (piano and conductor)

Leonard Bernstein was one of the most genuine, imaginative and exuberant music spirits of the 20th-century America. As a conductor he could also show great analytical subtlety and was able to blend his extrovert nature with a sensitivity that allowed him to capture the essence of every score. In addition to his activity as a conductor, he was also an indefatigable composer, critic, pianist and promoter, thanks to his ease and spontaneity and his extraordinary ability to convey emotions. The Ninth Symphony by Schubert in this CD clearly reveals Bernstein’s unique temperament. Ravel’s Concerto in G finally highlights the character of Bernstein the pianist; an artist capable of tackling the enormous difficulties of this page with a smile on his lips.

Remastered Quadro Recording (RQR)

“Another superb instalment in Pentatone’s quadraphonic re-mastering series. Davis’s Tchaikovsky (1812, Romeo and Juliet) is relatively unfamiliar, his Sibelius (Pohjola, Karelia) more a known and welcome quantity. Playable in stereo, but 4.0 multi-channel brings the real revelations. Magnificent.” Terry Blain, BBC Music Magazine
