"Leonard Bernstein - An American in Paris, presents the maestro's 1970s recordings with the Orchestre National de France. The set includes the live recording of a 1975 concert featuring music by Ravel ... Hearing the rehearsals is a slightly odd experience, as Bernstein sings along to Shéherazade and gives direction in French. It's a scintillating selection overall, though, with Ravel and Berlioz taking prominence, alongside works by Milhaud, Schumann, Bloch, Rachmaninov and - of course - Bernstein".
