Reissued, this legendary recording - of the single occasion when Leonard Bernstein conducted (or was permitted to conduct) Herbert von Karajan's Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra - is now available on only 1 CD at mid-price.
"The recording is really rather good [...] An extraordinary night. Warts and all, a collector's item." Edward Seckerson, Gramophone, May 1992
"The sound itself is magnificent [...] Karajan's celebrated performance of three years later is decisively put in its place by this properly uncomfortable rendering." Michael Tanner, Classic CD, April 1992
"quite an emotional experience" (Penguin Guide)
