Dear Editor at Classical Voice North America,

Romantic Symphonies Edited by Leonard Bernstein© 2024

The Zhangjiajie Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Taras Kutsenko recorded two symphonies by Gounod and Bizet, edited by the great American conductor Leonard Bernstein.
Two romantic symphonies by Gounod and Bizet, edited by Leonard Bernstein.
Furthermore, historical fact tells us that Bizet wrote his only symphony under the impression of Gounod's First Symphony. A hundred years later, Leonard Bernstein has made his conducting changes that have given new life to two symphonies by the great French composers.
In the history of the conductor's musical thought as a figure of musical performance, there are many examples of interpretations of famous classical works. Indeed, the number of paradoxical and mutually exclusive phenomena peacefully neighboring each other in the practical activity of a conductor cannot fit within the framework of certain dogmas, rules, or laws. However, some conductors have penetrated the essence of a work and using certain methods, which can be compared to the chemistry of sound, achieve a new sound. Among other conductors, there was Leonard Bernstein. The Maestro's conducting interpretation and revision of well-known music gives the listener new sensations and impressions.
