"Bernstein's 1958-59 coupling set the standard by which all subsequent pairings of An American in Paris and Rhapsody in Blue came to be judged . It still sounds astonishingly well as a recording . Bernstein's approach is inspirational , exceptionally flexible and completely spontaneous . The performance of An American in Paris is vividly characterized , brash and episodic ... with the great blues tune marvelously timed and phrased as only a great American orchestra can do it . " - The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs Awarded a Rosette " Bernstein treats [ Grofé's ] music as if it were a masterpiece of orchestral impressionism , while the famous On the Trail has never sounded more infectiously witty . The closing storm has real spectacle , powerfully generated by the orchestral playing itself . " - The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs
