Leonard Bernstein: Album Collection

2014 massive 80 CD box set reissue from the iconic conductor-composer's CBS/American Columbia discography. Virtually every remaining orchestral album has been collected in a single extraordinary box set & packaged in a perfect bound book housed in an LP-sized box. That means every concerto, symphonic poem, overture, ballet, dance, march, etc. That Bernstein recorded in New York between 1950 & 1976 (plus some in London, Paris & Israel) by nearly every composer in the standard repertoire: From Bach & Vivaldi to Barber, Bartók & Ligeti, as well as many of the most prominent 20th-century Americans, such as Ives, Copland, Gershwin & Carter. And, of course, copious recordings of Bernstein's own compositions. Most notably, there are multiple recordings of the Beethoven & Brahms concertos & of Bernstein's concertante works, as well as music by Mozart, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Liszt, Tchaikovsky, Dvorák, Ravel, Rachmaninoff, Sibelius & Nielsen. Featured throughout are some of the greatest soloists of the day, among them the violinists Isaac Stern, Zino Francescatti & Pinchas Zukerman & the pianists Glenn Gould, Rudolf Serkin, Philippe Entremont, André Watts, Gary Graffman & Robert Casadesus as well as Bernstein himself.
