Composer's name is listed where notable (i.e. Classical Performance, Jazz Performance).
For more information on any of the rock, pop and Jazz music featured on this program, I frequently utilize AllMusic , an excellent free database holding a huge plethora of information about music and the artists that make it.

There seems to be none of the lovely spoken-word text, commonly included with performances of this fine piece of music. I have heard versions where Bernstein did the reading himself (quite lovely, as I recall), and I could have sworn that this was such a recording.. Oh well. But musically it is an excellent recording, and was remastered in 1990. |
