Music of Our Time was a compendium album released in 1999, featuring recordings by Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic that captured the spirit of American composers in the 1960s. A decade later, the New York Philharmonic revisited the concept by putting together a program reflecting the new musical landscape. Enjoy a variety of works written for the New York Philharmonic by contemporary composers.
