Synopsis

Amazon.com

Leonard Bernstein's relationship with the Vienna Philharmonic was born of equal parts genuine affection and shrewd economic calculation. It was Lenny who brought Mahler back to Vienna, much to the player's initial dismay, and subsequent financial delight. In Mozart, though, it was just a shared love, and these are some of the most gorgeously played performances you'll ever hear. No, they ain't "authentic" instruments, or any such nonsense, but who cares? --David Hurwitz

CD Reviews

A Worthy Recording

Grady Harp | Los Angeles, CA United States | 07/21/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Leonard Bernstein for all his contributions to the field of classical music including his lectures to young people (despite age range!), his championship of the works of Mahler, of Ives and other American composers, and his forays into opera, was never considered a Mozartean. This 1990 recording with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra reminds us that his conducting was not always about the big sounds of the big works. These performances radiate substance and delicacy and should be included with many of the more Mozart-friendly conductors.

Symphony No. 29 in A major is an always enriching work of beauty and perfection of structure and here Bernstein plays it for the subtle line interventions and obeys the tempi markings with the best of them. There is a fine ambience in his relationship with the orchestra and, also in the earlier Symphony No. 25 in G minor, the orchestra responds with the clarity of thought that can only come from a band intimately familiar with this repertoire. The interpretations are not affected, remaining pure Mozart with every phrase and dynamic.

And as a bonus to the CD Bernstein completes this all Mozart concert with the much-loved Clarinet Concerto in A major, K. 622 with the sage Peter Schmidl as soloist. This is a performance that avoids flash and embraces eloquence and precision. It is an enviable feat. Leonard Bernstein has left a legacy that is still finding new admirers! Grady Harp, July 06
