Bernstein Century - Grieg: Peer Gynt Suites; Sibelius
By the time Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic made the recordings featured here, they had been together for more than a decade. There is a lustiness and power to the playing throughout the orchestra. From the lilt and swagger of Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 to the sensuous humor of Grieg's Norwegian Dance --made memorable for oboist Ralph Gomberg's solo playing--Bernstein brought out the best from this strong and virtuosic orchestra. Here, Sibelius's Valse Triste is all grace and elegance. The Swan of Tuonela is superb for it's dreamlike pacing and the marvelous English horn playing. Finlandia makes a perfect finale. All this music is evocative and it remains in motion every moment, however subtly. --Gwendolyn Freed

Pros & Cons :the sound engineering, from various locales and dates, is variable, but is always full and clear.
Haunting
...It was part of his gift as a composer, and it should come as no surprise that he responded to the same thing in other men's works. This is one of the best recordings of the Peer Gynt Suites that ... read more

Pros & Cons :bernstein was a great and devoted sibelian, on a par with karajan and beecham among international maestros.
...You can find the Finlandia and Swan in other pairings, which might be just as well since Bernstein's Peer Gynt Suite #1 is just a run-through, despite a rousing In the Hall of the Mountain King. I ... read more

Pros & Cons :if you enjoy these works of grieg and sibelius you might find it helpful to know that the karajan recording is much better than this one.
Rather Bland for my taste.............

Pros & Cons :although it does like power at times, i think bernstein added much more emotion, clearly evident in ase's death and sibelius' finlandia.
...And although the recording was made in th 40s, the older recording technique adds a unique flavor, especially to the violins, which seem to scream in Peer Gynt. Although these pieces are by no me ... read more
