" Lucid Culture" praised Bernard ’s recent Lincoln Center performance of Stravinsky ’s “ The Rite of Spring ”:
“ Conducting from memory, David Bernard led a transcendent performance.
Segues were seamless, contrasts were vivid and Stravinsky ’s whirling exchanges of voices were expertly choreographed. ”
Bernard ’s complete recorded Beethoven symphony cycle was praised by" Fanfare" magazine for its “ intensity, spontaneity, propulsive rhythm, textural clarity, dynamic control, and well- judged phrasing ”.
His recent premiere recording of a new edition of Stravinsky ’s'" The Rite of Spring" was praised by Gramophone as “ committed and forceful …( with) thrilling moments ”.
David Bernard has worked closely with Clinton F. Nieweg, retired librarian of the Philadelphia Orchestra, on editing new editions of Stravinsky ’s “ The Rite of Spring ” and “ The Firebird Suite— 1919 Version ”, which has been published by Edwin F. Kalmus in 2016.
