HEROIC: Beethoven's Eroica and Mahler's Fifth


Beethoven Symphony No. 3, "Eroica"

Mahler Symphony No. 5


"Quite impressive by our European standards. One can only marvel at this release. Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3 immediately captivates with its directness and the musicians' commitment. The tempos are brisk but never rushed, and the conducting highlights the modernity of Beethoven’s writing. The listener appreciates the ensemble’s uniformity, its rich overall sound, and the quality of the sections' contributions. This interpretation is flawless both musically and artistically.


In Mahler’s Symphony No. 5 The conductor perfectly captures the character of the movements, managing an airy and coherent instrumental texture. This is an heroic Mahler but one that avoids heaviness or excessive intention. The musicians of the Park Avenue Chamber Symphony, in an expanded formation, perform as a unified body, with all sections showing remarkable engagement, particularly the glorious brass.


The success of this album must be acknowledged, showcasing the high quality of the Park Avenue Chamber Symphony under David Bernard’s precise and inspired direction." -Crescendo

Tchaikovsky Symphonies 4, 5 & 6


Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 4

Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 5

Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 6


“Extremely Impressive, quite passionate with tremendous spirit. Elegant, thoughtful, well-balanced and sophisticated...the Fourth conveys a sense of Joy, the Fifth is quite passionate – just listen to the first movement’s white-hot coda, or to how the orchestra dig into the finale with audible gusto. The Sixth is also a fine performance with a good sense of overall structure and sensitive attention to detail.… parts emerge like newly scrubbed details in a restored painting…Bernard and his musicians frequently shed new and valuable light on a thrice-familiar standard, abetted by a recorded ambiance that evokes concert hall realism.” -Gramophone

Sounds of America


Barber Adagio for Strings

Copland Appalachian Spring Suite

Copland Clarinet Concerto (Jon Manasse, Clarinet)

Bernstein Symphonic Dances from West Side Story


"As lovely a rendition [of Barber’s Adagio for Strings] as any I’ve heard…Bernard leads a longingly pensive, wistfully reflective interpretation of the [Copland Clarinet Concerto], with a beautifully measured response from Manasse…The album concludes with the Symphonic Dances from West Side Story by Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990)…it’s familiar territory, but it’s freshened by Maestro Bernard’s enthusiastic approach. He seems genuinely engaged with the music, its story, and its people, and he brings the whole thing to life with his vigorous, animated direction." -Classical Candor
