Leonard Bernstein made a number of recordings of these works and among the many excellent recordings that he made as a conductor or as a soloist, the version of Rhapsody in Blue with the Columbia Orchestra from 1959, is especially of note. Bernstein takes on a double function as conductor and soloist and maneuvres his way safely and surely through the highly diversified score to create a well-rounded picture filled with hefty orchestral dynamics and finely chiseled solo playing. Coupled with another freely composed work the autobiographical sketch entitled An American In Paris, the superb New York musicians from the New York Philharmonic paint the impressions of a visitor to the hectic French capital city that too is the sound of America. Original Recordings Remastered from 1958 and 1959.
This recording is part of the ClassicalMusicStore.co.uk heritage catalogue. The store is no longer trading, but you can find this title — and thousands of other classical and jazz recordings — at a specialist retailer.
