]]> “We present a legendary cast of soloists in a selection of the Composer’s piano works, including the rare Concertino, written for and played with his son Maxim. [Concerto No.2] “performance brilliant by any standards, completely in sympathy with both concertos … in Shostakovich I don’t think it is merely the stereo sound that gives Bernstein the extra brilliance and vivacity … while the ensemble with the New York orchestra is spot on.” (Gramophone)

“It was not in doubt that Bernstein would respond vividly and warmly to its dramatic and emotional qualities … He has wonderful support from the Westminster Choir who respond unfailingly and remain fresh and untiring. Their soft singing is beautiful … Bernstein has also an excellent solo quartet: Lewis …some beautiful singing … Borg’s dark bass a solid foundation … fine tone and musicianship of Carol Smith. Eileen Farrell is a tower of strength. Her glorious voice, splendid attack and impeccable intonation give constant pleasure. Let me here praise the exquisite playing of John Corigliano and the New York Philharmonic. Bernstein … and the fine forces which he has inspired, have given us here a most musical, deeply felt and, where applicable, thrilling performance of the Missa Solemnis.” (Gramophone)
