Deutsche Grammophon’s Original Masters Series collections each present a logical grouping of historical repertoire from a single great DG artist - this time, the great American musician Leonard Bernstein. This is a reissue of DG’s Original Masters box set with new presentation in capboxes along with stylish illustrations, booklets and card sleeves with tracklistings. The booklet contains liner notes commissioned for the series, photos, details of the original recordings, and reproduce the distinctive cover artwork. “He brings a composer’s insight to the labyrinthine structure of Beethoven’s ‘Eroica’ and unpicks it with mind-boggling momentum. He injects authentic Yankee mettle into Dvořák ‘New World’ Symphony; his Tchaikovsky ‘Pathétique’ is riven with ambiguities. His ‘at the piano’ analyses of the music complete this indispensable portrait of the then 34-year-old firebrand.” CLASSIC FM
