Title: I Could Have Rated 5 Stars But.....
Review: Ohhhhh, this could have been the very best Rimsky-Korsakav's recording to ever exist! Bernstein's hot and energetic performance was completely magnificent all from the beginning ominous brass theme to the final stroke of the strings. And teh solo violin done by John Corigliano Sr. was absolutely beautiful. If only there wasn't this single BIG error (even a non-musician can feel something is wrong); one crash on the cymbal was really out of timing during the shipwreck scene at the fourth movement. This single "Oops!" really killed the perfection Bernstein and the listeners could have fully appreciated! (Sob...)If you want a really good AND perfectly played recording, tough luck finding it. Not even Karajan's performance is as stimulating.
