Bernstein: Symphonies Nos. 1 - 3, Prelude, Fugue & Riffs (2CD)

Marking Leonard Bernsteinâ€™s centenary, Sir Antonio Pappano conducts the American composerâ€™s three symphonies and Prelude, Fugue and Riffs. The Orchestra dellâ€™Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia had a long association with Bernstein, who first conducted the orchestra in 1948. â€œI find these symphonies revelatory in the true sense of the word,â€ says Pappano. â€œThey are hugely emotive and personal â€¦ At heart, Lenny was filled with the desire for the brotherhood of man to be something real and concrete â€¦ As a great Renaissance man, he was trying to make the world good.â€ â€œThis is a hugely impressive achievement, brilliantly recorded and handsomely packaged, and played by an orchestra which Bernstein conducted regularly in his final decade.â€ â€“ The Arts Desk â€œPappanoâ€™s knowledge of, and seeming instinct for, Bernsteinâ€™s sound world, rhythms and references, is hugely engaging â€“ an excellent modern way of marking the composerâ€™s centenary.- â€ Gramophone â€œRomeâ€™s Santa Cecilia Orchestra, in terrific form under Antonio Pappanoâ€ - The Times â€œIt is a handsome offering, well played by the Orchestra dellâ€™Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia and vividly recorded. â€- Financial Times â€œThis is an invaluable setâ€- The Guardian Gramophone Magazineâ€™s Recording of the Month September 2018 â€œBeatrice Rana has the razzle-dazzle in spades, but it is the throwaway manner that really excitesâ€- Gramophone
