Leonard Bernstein - Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 Choral

"Leonard Bernstein was always one to rise to an occasion, and this performance is no exception. Nowadays, when Beethoven Ninths are a dime a dozen, it's hard to recapture the sense of excitement that greeted Bernstein's Deutsche Grammophon Beethoven cycle when it was first released. In some ways, it marked the end of Bernstein's career as an American phenomenon, and the beginning of his reputation as a 'grand old man' of classical music. Well, this performance doesn't sound old, but it certainly is grand." — Amazon.com
