| Description: | The sparkling overture to Leonard Bernstein's 1956 musical Candide immediately found a prominent place in concert programs all over the world and is now one of his most frequently performed pieces. Many of Bernstein's best loved works drew inspiration from the city of New York, and this is true both of the three sailors pursuing female conquest in the ballet 'Fancy Free,' and of the rip-roaring swing rhythm and big tunes from the musical 'Wonderful Town.' Bernstein celebrated his friends and family with his 'Anniversaries'- piano vignettes heard here for the first time in colorfully expanded orchestrations. Marin Alsop is an inspiring and powerful voice in the international music scene who passionately believes that "music has the power to change lives." She became music director of the Sao Paulo Symphony Orchestra in 2012 and made history in 2013 as the first female conductor of the BBC's Last Night of the Proms, which she returned to conduct in 2015. As a student of Leonard Bernstein, Alsop is central to his 100th anniversary celebrations, conducting Bernstein's 'Mass' at the Ravina Festival, where she serves as musical curator for 2018 and 2019.? &© 2018.

Also part of the box set [r=12094034]."Fancy Free/Anniversaries for Orchestra" is a captivating CD release featuring the acclaimed conductor Marin Alsop and the renowned São Paulo Symphony Orchestra, produced by Naxos. This album brings together two iconic works by Leonard Bernstein: "Fancy Free," his vibrant ballet score that inspired the musical "On the Town," and "Anniversaries for Orchestra," an orchestral adaptation of his charming piano miniatures. The performances are energetic, colorful, and full of character, capturing Bernstein's unique blend of jazz rhythms, lyrical melodies, and American spirit. Marin Alsop is celebrated worldwide as one of today?s leading conductors; she was notably the first woman to lead a major American orchestra (the Baltimore Symphony) and has received numerous awards for her recordings with Naxos. The São Paulo Symphony Orchestra under her direction has gained international acclaim for its dynamic sound and innovative programming.
