Many of Bernstein’s best-loved works drew inspiration from the city of New York, and this is true both of the three sailors pursuing female conquest in the ballet Fancy Free, and of the rip-roaring swing rhythm and big tunes from the musical Wonderful Town.

Bernstein celebrated his friends and family with his Anniversaries – piano vignettes heard here for the first time in colourfully expanded orchestrations.

Marin Alsop’s long association with Bernstein gives her unique insights into his music.
