Considering that Stravinsky's Rite of Spring has been around for some 86 years, it's surprising that even today, conductors literally get lost while attempting to beat through it--and that goes for some of the biggest names. Difficult as the piece is, conductors have no excuse for major lapses, now that this recording is available for study. Bernstein not only keeps complete control of the complex rhythms and constantly-switching meters throughout the work but he also interprets it with fire and sweep and emotional versatility. The Firebird is equally breathtaking. It's priceless, too, for the fabulous horn solo played by the New York Philharmonic's legendary James Chambers. These are two among many defining performances in this series, The Bernstein Century. --Gwendolyn Freed

I remember the original LP. L.B. brought out more detail and power in that recording than I have heard in others before. The LSO is in top form for the recording too. The brass roar without reserve. I have to admit as a trumpet player this pleases me. I also like the subtlety of interpretation in the quiet portions of the score. Although the music may be quiet and few instruments may be playing the intensity of the music is clear as a bell. This performance is not much like many of the accepted "good" performances from the period in which it was made. Compare this recording to the one conducted by the composer and you will understand what I mean.
Unfortunately, I'm not 100% convinced this is truly the London Symphony performance under L.B. It sounds like the New York Philharmonic. The London Symphony was astounding because of the way the brass roared when pushed. I didn't hear that in this release.
I'm in the process of buying an original Columbia LP of the actual London Symphony recording to compare with this one.
