"It’s great to see this music being played with such conviction. We all know that Alsop is a superb Bernstein conductor ... even finer, certainly sonically ... conducted with even more pizzazz (than some other recordings) ... Alsop really does outdo Bernstein himself; the playing of the Baltimore Symphony here is sensational and in the finale Jennifer Johnson Cano sings with great sensitivity and a beautiful tone. The tragic climaxes hit you right in the gut ... Alsop knits the music together expertly, ensuring that the glum bits never bog down and that the entire first part builds inexorably to its exciting conclusion .... again, I don’t think that Bernstein could have done better and as suggested above the engineering is also rock solid and brilliant by turns. A marvellous release by any standard."
