5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Bernstein, January 24, 2002
For anyone who loves Bernstein (or even for those who don't), this is the CD to purchase. Includes excerpts from some of his most famous stage and serious works.

It has performances with some of worlds top names, original casts, and later revisions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, July 6, 2008
I bought this specifically for Slava as it is the audition piece chosen for this fall's band semester, but let's face it Bernstein's music is brilliant and a lot of fun to listen to. This collection has an excellent mix of his familiar and not so familiar works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazon's track listing incomplete, April 2, 2009
Please note that the 'On This CD' section is accurate, but the track listing omits most of disc 2.
