About

American composer, conductor, author, music lecturer, and pianist Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990) was among the first conductors born and educated in the United States of America to receive worldwide acclaim. His fame derived from his long tenure as the music director of the New York Philharmonic. This release on audiophile 180-gram vinyl brings one of his iconic performances to the turntable, once again.

“Bernstein's approach in the Rhapsody, which he directs from the keyboard, is exceptionally flexible but completely spontaneous. It is a masterly account in every way, quixotic in mood, rhythmically subtle and creating a great surge of human warmth at the entry of the big central tune.” - Penguin Guide, 2011
