5.0 out of 5 stars
indispensable for Bernstein fans
These miniatures are a true find, at once familiar (one selection is a virtual piano restatement of "This World" from "Candide") and surprising, as it takes the composer's connection to his faith to a high level. Not every moment is top rank Bernstein, and yet there is much that is beautiful and revelatory here. The performances are variable, but I doubt you'll find much...

Leonard Bernstein
The music sounded beautiful, the songs were not ones that I really knew and so I was not impressed with the entire album. Songs and Prayers that I knew, I enjoyed

indispensable for Bernstein fans, May 27, 2010
This review is from: Leonard Bernstein: A Jewish Legacy (Milken Archive of American Jewish Music) (Audio CD)
These miniatures are a true find, at once familiar (one selection is a virtual piano restatement of "This World" from "Candide") and surprising, as it takes the composer's connection to his faith to a high level. Not every moment is top rank Bernstein, and yet there is much that is beautiful and revelatory here. The performances are variable, but I doubt you'll find much of this collection elsewhere. I might have deducted a single star, but felt obliged to compensate for the sole other reviewer, who notes that while the music was beautiful, she was awarding a meager two stars because much was unfamiliar. This disc was, after all, intended to present Bernstein's less familiar works. Apparently, a single misguided reviewer can exercise undue influence on Amazon.
