These Europoean concerts testify to Bernstein's unique authority in Gershwin and Ives: "For some, Bernstein's accounts are not as much benchmark recordings as holy writ, for the conductor enjoyed deep associations with these composers" is how the "New York Times" described his connection to these gigants of American music. "Gershwin remains one of the greatest voices that have ever rung out in the history of American urban culture ... Ives was our first really great composer".
