West Side Story

Composer: Leonard Bernstein, Lyrics: Stephen Sondheim
Total Time: 77:31
Availability: *****
Rating: *****

Leonard Bernstein, one of the greatest American composers and conductors, composed some of the greatest music for this well know musical. Not to mention "Maria" and "Tonight" are the songs that appear in every musicians' recitals, his "Mambo" is another favorite orchestras' recital piece. This recordings, of course, does not have a very good sound quality. However, it is still bearable. I always wish that Bernstein had contributed more to the film industry. I am sure that he would have composed many legendary themes like John Williams did. Luckily enough, we left us with West Side Story and many other great classical opus. People who likes film music should have this in their collections.
