Commissioned in 1965 by the Dean of Chichester, Bernstein’s colourful Chichester Psalms is one of the composer’s most successful and accessible works on religious texts, contrasting spiritual austerity with impulsive rhythms in a contemplation of peace. The composer fashioned his Oscar-nominated score to the 1954 movie On the Waterfront into a symphonic suite, skilfully capturing the oppression of the New York dockyards in the ’50s. The Three Dance Episodes were extracted from the popular On The Town, Bernstein's first successful foray into musical theatre.

L'année 2003 marque le 85 e anniversaire de naissance de Leonard Bernstein, un homme qui a largement contribué à donner à la musique américaine ses lettres de noblesse. À cette occasion, parait une pléthore d'enregistrements, historiques ou nouveaux. Sony propose le meilleur panorama possible en deux coffrets dédiés l'un au travail du compositeur et l'autre à celui du chef. Le premier nous offre les Chichester Psalms de 1965, un extrait de la Serenade avec le violon d'Isaac Stern, ou les Prelude, Fugue and Riffs pour clarinette et ensemble de jazz avec Benny Goodman. Sans oublier, bien sûr, de nombreux extraits de ses œuvres pour la scène, ballets ou comédies more....
