Antonio Pappano and his Rome forces, joined by Beatrice Rana and Marie-Nicole Lémieux, show another side to Bernstein

• As a conductor, Leonard Bernstein had a warm involvement with Rome’s Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, and as a result became the organisation’s president. To mark his centenary, Antonio Pappano, Santa Cecilia’s music director since 2005, has recorded Bernstein’s three symphonies (Warner Classics).
