Lucia Lin, Natalie Rose Kress, Danny Kim & Ronald Feldman - Bernstein & Copeland (2023) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Navona Records is proud to present MUSIC FOR STRING QUARTET, the world premiere recording of renowned composer Leonard Bernstein’s long-lost work. Composed by an 18-year-old Bernstein during his studies at Harvard, the piece has been steadfastly shepherded from its re-discovery to this historic release by former Boston Symphony Orchestra Librarian John Perkel, and is performed here by Lucia Lin, Natalie Rose Kress, Danny Kim, and Ronald Feldman. “Movement I” and the newly-discovered “Movement II,” which was found within the U.S Library of Congress, are accompanied here by the seldom-recorded duo piece Elegies for Violin and Viola by composer Aaron Copland, a musical mentor, collaborator, and dear friend of Bernstein’s.

Tracklist:
01. Bernstein: Music for String Quartet (1936): I. Allegro Vivace
02. Bernstein: Music for String Quartet (1936): II. Andante (Tempo di Sarabande)
03. Copland: Elegies for Violin and Viola (1932)
