The composer’s own recordings are unsurpassed for their jazzy elan and sheer joy. The account with the New York Philharmonic, recorded in 1965, is wild, dramatic, and rhythmically charged, if a little rough around the edges. The young John Paul Bogart is absolutely sure of himself, just like the young David, and the playing of the New Yorkers is, as one would expect, perfectly idiomatic. – Ted Libbey, author of The NPR Guide to Building a Classical CD Collection, reviewing a previous release of this recording.
