Product description

Leonard Bernstein's "Bernstein: Serenade" is a captivating classical album that brings to life his "Serenade after Plato's Symposium," a work composed in 1954. This live recording, released in 1999 by the New York Philharmonic, is a testament to Bernstein's genius, blending the timeless dialogue of Plato's Symposium with the rich, expressive language of music. The album features five movements, each named after a speaker from Plato's Symposium, and performed with exquisite skill by the orchestra and a solo violinist. The piece is a unique fusion of philosophy and music, with Bernstein's compositional prowess shining through in every note. The album's duration is a concise 31 minutes, making it a perfect introduction to Bernstein's orchestral works or a delightful addition to any classical music enthusiast's collection.
