Description

From the 1980s, Leonard Bernstein conducted regularly in Munich. During this time, he came to especially appreciate and love the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. Bernstein had appeared with an all-Beethoven program in October 1976, and in 1983 he began a series of annual concerts with the orchestra. In 1987, he rehearsed Franz Schubert's Great C major Symphony, which was performed in the Kongresshalle of the Deutsches Museum in Munich. The album contains not only the live recording of this concert event, but also a rehearsal recording as a bonus, a "Conductors in Rehearsal" segment that has been preserved in the Bavarian Radio's sound archives.
