Description:

[Bernstein DVD Masterpieces] 24 video titles containing Bernstein's masterful performances and more, priced down to the lowest prices ever for a limited time only! These performances are full of sparkling rawness, simple and deep, profound and simple at the same time. Zimmermann never hides his talent as a virtuoso, but the overarching conception is symphonic in nature, and even incorporates the spirit of dialogue that chamber music has to offer. --Sadly, Bernstein died before he could complete the recording of the entire work. Zimmermann himself conducts Nos. 1 and 2, playing the piano and conducting according to 18th century performance conventions, and if you close your eyes, you can still feel as if Bernstein were still present. This would be the highest tribute to all those involved in the recording.Jérimy Siepmann (from the liner notes) ●Product for the 100th anniversary of Bernstein's birth ●DG 120th anniversary special program [Performed by] Christian Zimmermann (Piano, Conductor DVD1), Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, Conductor: Leonard Bernstein (DVD2) Recordings: September 1989 (No.3, 4, 5), December 1991 (No.1, 2) Vienna, Musikverein September 1989 (No.3, 4, 5), December 1991 (No.1, 2) at Musikverein, Vienna
