Bernstein: The 3 Symphonies - Casebound Deluxe
RecommendedOrchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, Sir Antonio Pappano

RecommendedOrchestral Works
Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Christian Lindberg
They’re completely on fire, chiselling hot rhythms out of the percussion, melting their lips on ritzy brass cascades. They also obviously relish the tenderness of those rare moments when Bernstein... — More…

Bernstein: Symphony No. 2 'The Age of Anxiety'
RecommendedKrystian Zimerman (piano)
Berliner Philharmoniker, Sir Simon Rattle

RecommendedBernstein • Schoenberg • Stravinsky • Zemlinsky
David Allsopp (countertenor)
Tenebrae, BBC Symphony Orchestra, Nigel Short
It’s good to hear Bernstein’s original design of the solo for a countertenor being respected for once. Allsopp makes much more of the words than most trebles, and there is an arresting immediacy... — More…
