Commissioned in 1965 by the Dean of Chichester, Bernstein's colourful Chichester Psalms is one of the composer's most successful and accessible works on religious texts, contrasting spiritual austerity with impulsive rhythms in a contemplation of peace. The composer fashioned his Oscar-nominated score to the 1954 movie On the Waterfront into a symphonic suite, skilfully capturing the oppression of the New York dockyards in the '50s. The Three Dance Episodes were extracted from the popular On The Town, Bernstein's first successful foray into musical theatre.
Reviews
stereoplay 01/04: »Marin Alsops Bernstein-Aufnahme ist vom Feinsten. Der von dem vorzüglichen Knabensolisten Thomas Kelly wesentlich getragene Psalm 23 klingt wie bester Benjamin Britten. Vielleicht entspringt es Marin Alsops weiblicher Ästhetik, dass ihre glänzend aufgelegten und eingefangenen Kollektive den Partituren neben tänzerischem Impetus so viele zarte und besinnliche Momente entlocken.«Disk 1 von 1 (CD)
