Bernstein and Russo portray the dynamics of modern America
Seiji Ozawa's youthful passion brilliantly blurs the boundaries between jazz and classical music.
The Symphonic Dances from "West Side Story" beautifully blends the San Francisco Symphony's dynamic energy with a jazzy swing. William Russo's work, in which the Siegel-Schwall Band and the orchestra converse, expresses the spirit of the blues on a symphonic scale. Ozawa's conducting maximizes the energy of both works.
