Product description

Immerse yourself in the world of Leonard Bernstein with the captivating album "An American in Paris," released on August 24, 2018, by Warner Classics. This extraordinary collection spans a vast array of classical masterpieces, showcasing Bernstein's unparalleled genius as a conductor and composer. The album is a testament to his enduring legacy, featuring a blend of studio recordings and live performances that have never been released before.

The album opens with Hector Berlioz's "Symphonie fantastique," a five-movement work that takes you on a journey through the composer's vivid imagination. It continues with "Harold en Italie," another Berlioz masterpiece, followed by Darius Milhaud's vibrant compositions, including "La Création du monde" and selections from "Saudades do Brasil." The album also features Robert Schumann's "Cello Concerto in A Minor," Ernest Bloch's "Schelomo," and Sergei Rachmaninov's "Piano Concerto No. 3 in D Minor," each performed with exquisite precision and passion.

One of the highlights of the album is the inclusion of George Gershwin's iconic "An American in Paris," a symphonic poem that captures the essence of Parisian life with its jazz-influenced melodies and orchestral brilliance. This piece, along with the other works, is brought to life by the Orchestre National de France, with whom Bernstein shared a deep and enduring connection.

The album is a celebration of Bernstein's multifaceted talent, encompassing his roles as a composer, conductor, educator, and pianist. It is a tribute to his contributions to the world of classical music and his ability to transcend conventional boundaries. Whether you are a longtime fan of Bernstein or a newcomer to his work, "An American in Paris" offers a rich and rewarding listening experience that highlights the enduring power of his music.

This is a 1964 Reissue released as a LP.

  • Dull Sound, Seeking Replacement

    3 out of 5 stars
    potnaptopworeDecember 26, 2025United States🇺🇸

    The sound on my version is dull, so I'm searching for another copy.

  • Bernstein's Finest Craftsmanship

    5 out of 5 stars
    MRedpofOctober 20, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Incredible craftsmanship, expansive sound, and superb clarity. This is surely one of Bernstein's finest works.

  • Vinyl Mastering Excellence

    5 out of 5 stars
    znbiva.pAugust 17, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Great performance, micing, stereo mixdown, and vinyl mastering job!

  • Soundstage Excellence, Minor Highs Harshness

    5 out of 5 stars
    CoqmewxahuXauxecMarch 10, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This record's sound stage is absolutely amazing! The stereo imaging truly stands out, especially with the orchestra and how the instruments are positioned. The mixing is mostly excellent too. However, I did notice some harshness in the highs during the louder parts, but that might just be because of my not-so-great linear tracking turntable. I'll definitely have to try this out with a better turntable in the future to see if that makes a difference.

  • Sound Stage Impressive, Highs Harsh

    5 out of 5 stars
    HifkawjeqiFoeletMarch 10, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This record's sound stage is absolutely amazing! The stereo really stands out, especially with the orchestra and how the instruments are positioned. The mix is mostly well done, too. I did notice a bit of harshness in the highs during the louder parts, but that might just be because of my not-so-great linear tracking turntable. I'll definitely have to try it out with a better one sometime.
