"Because Leonard Bernstein was such a brilliant communicator, there is an extra degree of energy in his live recordings, where that electrical circuit of musicians, conductor and audience is working its audible magic. It is cause for celebration that the New York Philharmonic has assembled these extraordinary performances for us to share. Even posthumously, Bernstein gives us the opportunity to participate in his galvanizing musical current."
-- Jamie Bernstein Thomas
