Comp.symphonies: Bernstein / Nyp

Sibelius - Symphonies 1-7—Bernstein


Leonard Bernstein needs no introduction: aside from being the most prominent American-born conductor in the world and, most famously, Music Director of the New York Philharmonic, he was a musical pioneer, a flamboyant public figure and an institution.

His musical career lasted from the early ‘40s until the beginning of the ‘90s when he conducted his last concerts with failing health.

His Sibelius symphonies are widely regarded as among the finest ever recorded, so don’t miss out on this astounding re-release on 26th May.
