Sunny, excited, sexy piece of music. It's a call for play, for acting out. Smile and dance!
Kunzel's reading is an unsurprising classics. Playful and intensive even in the middle calm passage.

#157 The Smell of Traffic
Unmistakeable klaxon sound, traffic, bustle... welcome to Paris! And then such a luminous cooling down and my favorite part at 7'27'': walking on the sly, and the melody that takes you onward.
Bernstein is having a good time here. Switching moods, balancing classical and jazz, fun and sentiment, excitement and homesickness, he pretty much sets the standard.
Composer: George Gershwin
Work: An American in Paris
Recording: New York Philharmonic, Leonard Bernstein
