The Maestro: Very Best of Leonard Bernstein

Electrifying conductor, brilliant composer, gifted pianist, inspiring teacher: Leonard Bernstein is one of the most famous and influential musicians of all time. Highlights of this two-disc sampling of the Maestro's legendary recordings for Deutsche Grammophon include his incandescent interpretations of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky and Mahler, composers for whom he felt a profound affinity. And Bernstein's lifelong dedication to American music is vividly illustrated with Gershwin, Barber and, of course, his own iconic West Side Story. This album offers a perfect introduction to Bernstein as conductor. Highlighting some of classical music's most beloved works and tracks: from Elgar's 'Nimrod' to Mahler's Adagietto from Symphony No.5, from Barber's 'Adagio for Strings' to Beethoven finale of the 'Choral' Symphony No. 9, from Gerswhin's 'Rhapsody in Blue' to Dvorak's 'From the New World'. Enjoy the charismatic music making of Bernstein at its best!
