Sony, Please reissue.......2007-02-28

When the Symphony No. 3 here first came out on LP, I purchased it and fell in love with this great work. Were it not for the two vocalists required in the slow movement, I believe this symphony would be played far more often than it is. But it just those wonderful vocal moments that really stand out when this work is played in public. It lasts maybe three minutes but it is pure magic. The Bernstein performance, recorded in Denmark, is magnificent, a performance for the ages. For that reason alone, Sony should reissue it and allow it to stay in the catalog. The 5th Symphony is not as beautiful as the 3rd, but it is extremely exciting and since it has no vocal requirements, it is played much more often. I suspect Sony will reissue this CD in SACD. I would wait for that version.

Still unmatched in most respects ..........2006-05-05

My review seconds everything said about the 3rd Symphony reading, and I would add that the 5th Symphony reading seems not to have been quite matched by anyone else. Along with the overall polish and power of the first movement, the tempi of the final movement are generally faster and more difficult to sustain than others have ever attempted on record, especially in the Presto fugue that introduces those astounding clarinet and wind figurations. This leads eventually and with equal intensity to a towering finale that Bernstein ends on a huge sustained brass chord, which truly stands apart from all other performances I have heard. In two words, I would call this recording of the 5th far and away the "most uncompromising" of any I have heard.

For those who have not found it in their search, this entire recording seems still to be available on Sony Catalog No. 44708 (ASIN B00000DSAX) and can be found on Amazon at: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00000DSAX/qid=1146761626/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/104-4972447-7733563?s=classical&v=glance&n=5174.
I had to use "Nielsen, Symphony, 5, Bernstein" to make it come up on my search page.

The best Expansive ever recorded!.......2005-10-04

In Leonard Bernstein 's musical career there have been glorious and unforgettable achievements: and if I was required by the eight major ones: I should name, in this order. a) Mahler' s Second with the London Symphony; b) Schumann 's Second ; c) Aaron Copland 's Rodeo; d) Edward Elgar' s Pomp and circumstance with the members of the BBC; e) Britten 's Peter Grimes ; f) Haydn ' s Symphony No. 97; g) Charles Ives question without answer; and finally this Nielsen 's Third. Nobody does it better. When Bernstein was inspired and decided to face the work going to the essential roots, he got magnificent results as this one, for instance.
So don' t think it over and try to get as soon as you can this towering recording, without a little shadow of doubt: this is a resonant artistic feat.

Magnificent Performances.......2005-06-20

I consider Nielsen to be one of the greatest 20th Century symphonists. Both the 3rd and 5th are remarkably atmospheric, complex, approachable masterpieces that reward repeated listening. If you don't know these works, please do yourself the favor of purchasing this disk. There are other performances that are easier to find in stores, and they're less expensive, too--most notably the Decca Double 2-CD set re-releases of Herbert Blomstedt's performances with the San Francisco Symphony. However, Berstein's performances here are truly incandescent, far outstripping the Blomstedt set in passion, emotional fervor, imaginative sweep, and atmospheric evocation. I've listened to every performance of Nielsen's symphonies I've been able to get my hands on--the 3rd, Symphonia Espansiva, is my personal favorite--but no other performances can match these. The slower-than-usual tempo in the finale of the 3rd is truly extraordinary--the music breathes and surges with a febrile excitement, with a breathtaking exhilaration. Ahh, Bernstein...what an inspiring genius of the podium. This would be worth owning at triple or quadruple the price asked here. Please do yourself a favor and purchase this disk. (It's really criminal that Sony hasn't re-released these performances in the US as part of the Bernstein Century series, because they are among his finest recorded performances.) Enjoy!

Nielsen; The 20th Century Greatest Symphonist........2000-01-12

I experienced live Bernstein conducting Nielsen's symphonies in Denmark, when I was young. The 1st movement of Nielsen's masterpiece the 5th symphony is still etched in my mind as one of the most powerful pieces of music ever composed. Where have you every heard a clarinet and a snaredrum togehter making beatiful and at the same time frightening music. Bernstein masters this complex composition and its feelings perfectly and the recording is a great honor to these two masters, Nielsen and Bernstein.

I cannot find any 20th century composition or even any classic symphony, which comes close to Nielsens mastery in the 5th, except perhaps Nielsen's own 4th and 6th symphonies.

When you at the same time get the lesser played but very moving "Sinfonia Expansiva" Opus 27/ Nielsen's 3rd symphony thrown in for free, you are in for a rare treat. While the 5th only had two more or less interlinked movements, the 3rd is a classical four movement symphony. But up to Nielsen's usual treatment of harmonic bluffness, an almost unremittingly dissonnat progress, in places even with polytonal features, in the 3rd symphony no particular key is not maintained for long. In fact the music expands continiously in melodic and rhythmic elements. The classic insistance on tonal unity wihtin each single movement as well as the work as a whole had been disregarded by Nielsen as early as his 2nd symphony. A special coloring is obtained in this symphony by the combination of melody with 2 human voices, that sing seemingly improvised coloraturas on the vowel "a". If you buy this, you will also have to buy his 4th and 6th symphonies, and the Clarinet Concerto (try the one played by jazzman Benny Goodman). The 5th symphony use of clarinet and snaredrum later inspired this tumultuous concerto.
