111 Years of Deutsche Grammophon: 55 CD Anthology

Jacketed in their original cover-art, the fifty-five albums that comprise The Collector's Edition offer decade-spanning highlights of Deutsche Grammophon's master musicians interpreting masterworks. These landmark albums offer their complete, original programs and, in some cases, additional music has been added. Thoughtfully chosen and unprecedented in scope, this 55-CD anthology of pivotal Deutsche Grammophon artists - from Claudio Abbado to Krystian Zimerman - covers centuries of music - from Monteverdi to Pärt - giving tangible testimony to our company's commitment to audio quality equal to these musicians' talents. While no collection surveying 111 years of Deutsche Grammophon can be comprehensive on (only!) fifty-five discs; as a "miniature musical reference library", The Collector's Edition is the classical-music jukebox of one's dreams - and is offered at an exceptional price.

Leonard Bernstein's Young People's Concerts with the New York Philharmonic stand among his greatest achievements. These televised programs introduced an entire generation to the joys of classical music. Bernstein conducted his first Young People's Concert on January 18, 1958, just two weeks after becoming Music Director of the New York Philharmonic. Such programs were already a Philharmonic tradition when Bernstein arrived, but he made them a centerpiece of his work, part of what he described as his "educational mission." Looking back on the concerts years later, he referred to them as being "among my favorite, most highly prized activities of my life." When he took a sabbatical season from the orchestra in 1964-65, he still came back to lead the Young People's Concerts. He continued to lead these programs until 1972, even though he had stepped down as director of the Philharmonic in 1969. Bernstein led a total of fifty-three Young People's Concerts during those fourteen years, and covered a broad range of subjects. The works of the great composers were explored, including tributes to modern masters such as Dmitri Shostakovich, Paul Hindemith, Gustav Holst, Aaron Copland and Charles Ives. Bernstein discussed "Jazz in the Concert Hall," "Folk Music in the Concert Hall," and "The Latin-American Spirit." He explained the intricacies of Music Theory in programs such as "Musical Atoms: A Study of Intervals" and "What is a Mode?" He broached complex aesthetic issues such as "What Does Music Mean?" (his first program) with clarity and without condescension. Bernstein also used the Young People's Concerts to introduce young performers to the musical world. The sixteen year-old pianist André Watts made his debut in the concert of January 15, 1963. Originally broadcast on Saturday mornings, the programs were considered so important that for three glorious years CBS presented them at 7:30 p.m. (prime time for television viewing). Eventually the programs were moved to Sunday afternoons. The concerts were translated into other languages and syndicated to forty countries.
