Not surprisingly, given Bernstein's audio recordings of the work, the 5th is excellent. I also really liked the performances of the 3rd and the 9th.

Thanks for the heads up JJ. I have
Young People's Concerts, Harvard Talks, Reaching for the Note and Making of West Side Story all on DVD and
Little Drummer Boy and
Love of Three Orchestras on VHS. I was wondering if the "Concert Series" you mentioned was worth getting and it seems as though it is. Hmmmmm.....I will have to do some tugging on Santa's ear and put in a request.
