Product Description

Immerse yourself in a rich tapestry of American classical music with Zubin Mehta's compelling album, "Gershwin, Copland, Bernstein and Kraft." Released on May 20, 2016, under the Mangora Classical label, this collection showcases a masterful blend of opera and classical genres, spanning a captivating 77 minutes.

Zubin Mehta, renowned for his dynamic interpretations and deep musical insight, conducts a diverse array of compositions that highlight the brilliance of Gershwin, Copland, Bernstein, and Kraft. The album opens with Gershwin's iconic "An American in Paris," a vibrant orchestral work that paints a vivid musical portrait of Parisian life. Copland's "Appalachian Spring" follows, a suite that beautifully captures the essence of American frontier life through its seven distinct movements.

Bernstein's "Candide" overture, known for its lively and witty character, adds a touch of theatrical fling, while "Lincoln Portrait" offers a reflective and patriotic homage to Abraham Lincoln. Kraft's "Contextures" completes the album with its three-movement suite, showcasing intricate textures and rhythmic complexity.

This album is a testament to Mehta's versatility and the enduring appeal of these American masters. Whether you're a seasoned classical enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this collection promises an enriching and enjoyable listening experience.
