Adrian, I suspect that many of us "of a certain age" unconsciously think of Berstein/Columbia SO as the "original" version!

I would have to hear the Herbie/Lang Lang version under better circumstances.  On first hearing, it is too "lite" for me. This version seems oddly devoid of a certain "tension" I associate with the work, to the point that I "miss" it here.

Nice playing, however.  Very clean; "refreshing"...

Best regards,
Paul S
