| Always full of surprises, Leonard Bernstein turns in one of the best ever recordings of Bizet's delightful early symphony. The performance is vivacious, unaffected, graced by Harold Gomberg's excellent solo oboe in the slow movement, and capped by a finale that really sizzles. Like all great musicians, Bernstein was an exceptional performer of "light" music, fortifying musically lean works with stylishness, verve, and sheer commitment. The composer of "Candide" clearly is at work in the equally ebullient renditions of pieces by Offenbach and Suppé. Simply put, this recording is a charmer. --David Hurwitz, ClassicsToday.com | |||||
