Free Music Review: Haunting
Hit: 5 Stars

Bernstein had a great knack for music that created mood or atmosphere. It was part of his gift as a composer, and it should come as no surprise that he responded to the same thing in other men's works. This is one of the best recordings of the Peer Gynt Suites that I've ever heard. It is exquisitely played by the orchestra, something you can't always take for granted with the N.Y. Philharmonic of the 1960's. The music just flows, with exquisite accents and phrasing. Bernstein's performance of Solveig's Song is a textbook on conducting, as the phrases bend and purl into one another. The other Grieg pieces are gorgeously played and stimulating. As for the Sibelius, Bernstein's way with these works would be hard to surpass. The Valse Triste has great elegance, with The Swan of Tuonela is as movingly played as I've ever heard. The sound engineering, from various locales and dates, is variable, but is always full and clear. These are great recordings that the Bernstein fancier might otherwise overlook.
