Title: Fantastic!
Review: James Levine is a wonderful conductor. These are some of the best performences of these scores I have ever heard; Beethoven's 5th is given a much-needed boost of energy, which makes it even more powerful and much less boring. Gershwin's Raphsody in Blue is finally given the right treatment, with respect for little details, not too fast and not too slow. Carnival of the Animals is more joyful and energetic than ever, and the Firebird Suite is touching and soothing up untill the big "boom" which is bound to make you jump in your seat. Overall, this is a great disc for introducing anyone to classical music; You won't find any better performance of these tracks, anywhere.
