American music is a meling pot of blues, Broadway, jazz, and folk songs. This cd presents the greatest works of America's greatest composers, music inspired by the hum of the nation's city-life and the beauty of its wide-open spaces. The one and only Leonard Bernstein conducts this superb collection.

Bernstein a second time around...

(4 out of 5 stars)

"These four classics of Americana were recorded by a more youthful

Leonard Bernstein for Columbia/SONY back in the 1960's. No one conducts this music quite like him. I think his affinity for Broadway glitz gives him an edge on all others. Those older recordings(mostly with the NY Philarmonic)are still available today. Value wise you get him conducting and as soloist on the "Rhapsody". He conducts his own "Westside Story" with flair and even Copland has admitted that Bernstein is more diffinative

on "Appalachian Spring" than himself. You get a sumptious "Adagio" to conclude the album. All this at a bargain price and on one convient disc, recorded as DDD. Add a star if you think the wisdom of age triumphs over the vigor of youth!"
