Single US 2002 on New York Philharmonic label
Classical
This humungous compilation is a belated pendant to the sesquicentennial celebrations in 1992-3 by and for the New York Philharmonic (more accurately, Philharmonic-Symphony after the 1928 merger of Manhattan's two most competitively prestigious orchestras, until image-makers shortened it several decades later). Every music director from Willem Mengelberg (1922-29), through Leonard Bernstein (1958-69) is included, yet nothing by Pierre Boulez (1971-77), Zubin Mehta (1977-91) or Kurt Masur, the current lame-duck leader. Plenty of guests include Guido Cantelli, Otto Klemperer, Fritz Reiner, Charles Munch, Pierre Monteux -- even Nadia Boulanger, the Paris-based doyenne of so many American composers starting with Piston, Copland and Virgil Thomson.
