Bernstein: On The Waterfront
RecommendedOrchestral Works
Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Christian Lindberg
They’re completely on fire, chiselling hot rhythms out of the percussion, melting their lips on ritzy brass cascades. They also obviously relish the tenderness of those rare moments when Bernstein... — More…
