Marin Alsop - Bernstein: Candide/ London Symphony Orchestra

Hybrid Multichannel double SACD

Marin Alsop leads the London Symphony Orchestra and Chorus in a new recording of Bernstein's riotous satirical operetta, Candide.

Made almost three decades after the composer's own iconic recording with the Orchestra, Alsop's new version was captured during celebratory concerts making Bernstein's centenary year, and features an outstanding array of soloists, including Leonardo Capalbo (Candide), Jane Archibald (Cun gonde), Anne Sofie von Otter (The Old Lady) and Sir Thomas Allen (Dr. Pangloss, Narrator).

With lyrical contributions from acerbic writers Richard Wilbur, Dorothy Parker and a young Stephen Sondheim, Candide marries raucous humor with the extraordinary genius of Leonard Bernstein.
