This inexpensive seven-disc set offers the basic Bernstein in the composer's own incomparable performances with the New York Philharmonic. His later versions for Deutsche Gramophone may feature some of this music in the final, revised editions, but the differences are never large, and Bernstein in his more youthful prime is a tough act to follow, even for himself. Consider the second movement of the First Symphony, with its wicked use of the Torah tropes and climax featuring timpani pounded with maracas. Even the Israel Philharmonic doesn't capture quite the same explosive energy that Bernstein does here.
In this set, you get all three symphonies, all of the ballets including the complete Dybbuk (still very underrated), Zino Francescatti in the earlier of Bernstein's two Sony recordings of the Serenade after Plato's “Symposium,” the suites from On the Waterfront, On the Town and West Side Story, the Candide Overture, Chichester Psalms, the witty song cycles I Hate Music! and La Bonne Cuisine, Trouble in Tahiti (so much better in this original version as opposed to its inclusion in the awful opera A Quiet Place), and best of all, Mass. I have great personal affection for this latter work, sort of Bernstein's Broadway answer to Britten's War Requiem, with its typically eclectic and riotous mixture of styles.
