Bernstein: Violin Sonata; Piano Trio; New Transcriptions Review
Bernstein: Violin Sonata; Piano Trio; New Transcriptions Feature
This disc collects three of Leonard
Bernstein's very few examples of
chamber music. Although written at
the onset of his career, the Piano
Trio and the Violin Sonata (both
student works) and the Clarinet
Sonata (here arranged for violin by
William Terwilliger) confirm his
prowess in a genre to which he
simply never had time to return.
Rounding out the disc are songs
from three of his theatre works,
including 'My House' from Peter
Pan, 'Take Care of this House' from
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and four
songs from the acclaimed madcap
operetta Candide, all idiomatically
arranged by Eric Stern.
