"Let me say straight away that these performances come at us with a theatricality that puts them firmly ‘on stage’ where they belong...[Barstow] is tremendous and far and away the most exciting, the most affecting, the most probing narrator of any on disc...Pappano’s knowledge of, and seeming instinct for, Bernstein’s sound world, rhythms and references, is hugely engaging – an excellent modern way of marking the composer’s centenary." - Gramophone Magazine September 2018
