Tras el enorme éxito de Leonard Bernstein: The Symphony Edition, publicado en 2010, Sony Classical lanzará una nueva reedición aún más grande del genial compositor y director con su discografía para CBS/Columbia. Prácticamente todos los restantes álbumes de Bernstein se han recogido en un único y extraordinario conjunto de 80 CD. Está cada concierto, poema sinfónico, obertura, ballet, danza o marcha que grabó en Nueva York entre 1950 y 1976 (con añadidos de Londres, París e Israel) con casi todos los compositores de su repertorio estándar. De Bach a Vivaldi pasando por Barber, Bartók y Ligeti, así como muchos de los más grandes americanos del siglo XX, tales como Ives, Copland, Gershwin y Carter. Y, por supuesto, las abundantes grabaciones de música compuesta por él mismo.
En particular, hay varias grabaciones de los conciertos de Beethoven y Brahms, además de música de Mozart, Mendelssonh, Schumann, Liszt, Tchaikovsky, Dvorák, Ravel, Rachmaninoff, Sibelius y Nielsen. Destacan algunos de los grandes solistas de la época, entre ellos los violinistas Isaac Stern, Zino Francescatti y Pinchas Zukermann y los pianistas Glenn Gould, Rudolf Serkin, Philippe Entremont, André Watts, Gary Fraffman y Robert Casadesus, así como el propio Bernstein.
Todas las interpretaciones que aparecen en la caja de 80 CD proceden de las mejores fuentes, en algunos casos con remasterizaciones de las cintas originales. La caja de Bernstein editada por Sony Classical es una extraordinaria visión general de las obras grabadas por este gran maestro.
