Leonard Bernstein's Symphony No. 1: Jeremiah is one of his most profound and emotionally charged works. Composed in 1942, it is a reflection of Bernstein’s Jewish heritage and his deep concern with moral and spiritual themes.
Samuel Barber's Medea’s Meditation and Dance of Vengeance, Op. 23a, is a gripping orchestral work drawn from his 1946 ballet Medea. This standalone concert piece, extracted and revised in 1955, encapsulates the emotional core of the ballet, portraying Medea’s psychological torment and ultimate vengeance.

A justly celebrated performance and recording
Jeremiah with Bernstein conducting is justly celebrated. It is a marvelous performance in excellent sonics. The Barber Medea with Munch and the BSO is one of the great Richard Mohr and Lewis Layton collaborations. This compact work is scored deliciously for a wide range of instruments, color, and drama. The concluding section is demonically intense, filled with impact from the large percussion section arrayed for the performance (tam tam, tom-tom, orchestral side drum, bass drum, whip, tympani, triangles, and cymbals). It is a wild ride! And Lewis Layton captures it well.
