West Side Story: Highlights 1985 Studio Recording
Description
The world becomes a better place as Leonard Bernstein conducts his
first West Side Story with the abandon, genius, and intimate knowledge of
every detail he, as composer, imagined. The crisp orchestra and slower tempos
maximize the colors of the orchestral landscape and create magic. This
recording falls just one tenor’s diction short of perfection. Te Kanawa’s
scrumptious soprano deliciously graces Maria’s music, realizing the virtuosity
often unattainable in theater singers’ renditions. Troyanos combines a
ferocious chestiness with classically trained savvy. The only weakness is
Carreras’s diction, which he so obviously works hard to Americanize, but falls
distractingly short. Still, the overall recording is brilliant. –Barbara
