Navona Records is proud to present Music for String Quartet, the first recording of renowned composer Leonard Bernstein’s long-lost work. Composed by an eighteen-year-old Bernstein during his studies at Harvard, the piece has been steadfastly shepherded from its re-discovery to this historic release by former Boston Symphony Orchestra Librarian John Perkel, and is performed here by Lucia Lin, Natalie Rose Kress, Danny Kim and Ronald Feldman. 'Movement I' and the newly-discovered 'Movement II', which was found within the US Library of Congress, are accompanied here by the seldom-recorded duo piece Elegies for Violin and Viola by Aaron Copland, a musical mentor, collaborator and dear friend of Bernstein's.
Recorded 6 February 2023 at the Shalin Liu Performance Center, Rockport MA, USA.
