5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic, 23 Mar 2007
By J Scott Morrison (Middlebury VT, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
These three symphonies are American symphonic classics and these performances by Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic are also classics. These are my favorite recordings of both the Harris and the Thompson; by the way, when was the last time you heard the Thompson in concert? It's ludicrous that it isn't programmed as more often. The Diamond has had a sonically better recording from Gerard Schwarz and the Seattle Symphony, but I prefer Bernstein's way with the symphony, although Schwarz's effort isn't chopped liver, come to think of it. Neeme Järvi recorded the Thompson when he was with the Detroit Symphony, I seem to recall, but it didn't make much impression on me, although obviously the sound is more modern.

One of the American reviewers commented that there was a lot of tape hiss on these recordings -- they do, after all, come from 1961, 1968 and 1958 respectively -- but I don't find the tape hiss at all objectionable. It is perhaps most noticeable in the Diamond. The Philharmonic play as if to the manner born, as indeed with this repertoire they were.

Add to all this the budget price and this is a clear recommendation for those who don't know these wonderful symphonies or own these performances in previous incarnations.

Scott Morrison
