4.0 out of 5 stars
Bernstein a second time around...,
By vmzfla "vince819" (Orlando, Fl.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mad about American Music (Audio CD)
These four classics of Americana were recorded by a more youthfulLeonard Bernstein for Columbia/SONY back in the 1960's. No one conducts this music quite like him. I think his affinity for Broadway glitz gives him an edge on all others. Those older recordings(mostly with the NY Philarmonic)are still available today. Value wise you get him conducting and as soloist on the "Rhapsody". He conducts his own "Westside Story" with flair and even Copland has admitted that Bernstein is more diffinative on "Appalachian Spring" than himself. You get a sumptious "Adagio" to conclude the album. All this at a bargain price and on one convient disc, recorded as DDD. Add a star if you think the wisdom of age triumphs over the vigor of youth!

3.0 out of 5 stars
This albumn is full of value,,
By Sean Carroll (Marietta, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mad about American Music (Audio CD)
This album contains some of America's most cherished pieces of music. The melodies will captivate the imagination and will no doubt conjure up images a burgeoning America. Rhapsody in Blue will transport you to the bustling city, while Adagio for Strings and Appalachian Spring will bring you to the wilderness. These pieces are a must have, and a compilation album offers an outstanding value.
