THE LEGEND CONTINUES: BERNSTEIN CENTURY
In the eighty years that have passed since the birth of Leonard Bernstein, no one else has done more -- before or since -- to legitimize American classical music, and educate people to the great works and genres classical music has to offer. His monumental legacy dominates the musical life of this century.
Sony Classical continues to celebrate his recorded legacy with the release
of six new titles in the BERNSTEIN CENTURY series, which encompasses:
- core classical repertoire, in definitive performances conducted or performed by Bernstein
- repertoire which he championed (e.g. Mahler, Beethoven, Copland) in a number of his legendary recordings
- his performances of his own compositions for musical theater, ballet, and symphonic works
BERNSTEIN CENTURY is an indispensable musical archive for anyone interested in this revered figure whose career defined our century. Each release features new covers with many never-before-used photos of Bernstein, in a bold, contemporary series design; excerpts from original liner notes, plus new essays written by people associated with the original recordings; and a complete catalogue listing. All selections have been digitally remastered for optimal sound quality.
