In addition to his eminence as an interpreter of the standard symphonic repertoire, Koussevitzky was responsible for the creation of much new music, e.g. Ravel's orchestration of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms and Prokofiev's Fourth Symphony. He also commissioned many works by American composers, most notably Aaron Copland and Roy Harris. He also developed the Berkshire Music Festival at Tanglewood, where one of his protégés was Leonard Bernstein. Despite his importance to American musical life, Koussevitzsky's reputation has sharply declined over the past six decades, most particularly due to the limited availability of his recordings and the frequently indifferent audio quality of what has been reissued.
