Product Description

Dive into the world of classical music with Leonard Bernstein's "An American in Paris," released on August 24, 2018, under Warner Classics. This expansive collection spans nearly four hours and offers a rich tapestry of orchestral works that showcase Bernstein's virtuosity and the depth of his musical repertoire.

The album begins with Hector Berlioz's "Symphonie fantastique," a programmatic masterpiece that takes listeners through a journey of passion, dreams, and vivid imagery. Following this, "Harold en Italie" provides a pastoral contrast, with its serene landscapes and lively folk scenes. Darius Milhaud's works, including "La Création du monde" and selections from "Saudades do Brasil," bring a touch of jazz and Brazilian rhythms to the collection, highlighting Bernstein's versatility.

Robert Schumann's "Cello Concerto in A Minor" offers a soulful and introspective interlude, while Ernest Bloch's "Schelomo" adds a dramatic and deeply expressive solo for cello. The album concludes with Sergei Rachmaninov's monumental "Piano Concerto No. 3 in D Minor," a tour de force that demands both technical brilliance and profound emotional depth.

"An American in Paris" is not just a compilation of classical pieces but a testament to Leonard Bernstein's enduring legacy as a conductor and interpreter of some of the most beloved works in the classical canon. Whether you're a seasoned classical enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this album offers a captivating exploration of Bernstein's artistry and the timeless beauty of orchestral music.

This is a 1964 Reissue released as a LP.

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

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

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

  • Soundstage Excellence, Minor Highs Harshness

    5 out of 5 stars
    CoqmewxahuXauxec10 March 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
    HifkawjeqiFoelet10 March 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.
