If it was a mistake, Bernstein's the one who made it.  Besides, how big
a mistake could it be?  It's not like the stores are loaded with Nielsen
recordings.  At the local Borders in Albuquerque, there's maybe 4 Nielsen
discs.  He wrote excellent symphonies and chamber music - I still have
fine memories of a review project I did of recordings of his string
quartets..
