About

This companion volume to the Symphonies in the Bernstein Collectors Edition (474 924-2) brings together a truly remarkable group of recordings: the 1976 Amnesty International Concert is appearing for the first time on CD, along with the “vividly dramatic” Missa Solemnis, the orchestral arrangements of the String Quartets opp. 131 & 135 (“a fabulous disc”), the Berlin Ninth Symphony of 1989 (“a unique event vividly caught”) and the Seventh Symphony from Bernstein’s final concert at Tanglewood in 1990. (Citations from Gramophone magazine)
