Why 'The essential Bernstein' is not conducted by Lenny?, July 25, 2000
This review is from: The Essential Bernstein (Audio CD)
The pieces of music selected for this recording are indeed a selection of the 'Essential Bernstein'. The 60's "Candide Overture" is the best version recorded by Bernstein. But the "West side Story" is conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas (a good conductor, but there are several Bernstein-conducted recordings of the West Side Story score and symphonic dances). The same thing happens with some other pieces. If Leonard Bernstein recorded all of his compositions, I suppose the 'essential Bernstein' should have Bernstein conducted by Bernstein recordings.
