In celebration of what would have been Bernstein’s 90th year, IDIS presents a rare historical CD where the American conductor approaches the masterpieces of two very different composers: Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony and Gershwin’s An American in Paris.

Bernstein is perfectly at ease with such diverse musical styles and offers an intensely human and emotional interpretation. Both recordings are imbued with his charismatic and enthralling personality and strong communicative power.
