Product description
Ah, West Side Story - the original Broadway cast recording. A classic tale of love, loss, and gang rivalry set against the vibrant backdrop of 1950s New York City. But does this album still hold up in 2021? Let's find out. From the very first notes of "Prologue" to the stirring finale of "Somewhere," this album is a masterclass in musical theatre. The soaring vocals of Larry Kert as Tony and Carol Lawrence as Maria bring the iconic Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim score to life with passion and precision. The standout tracks on this album have to be "America" and "Maria." The energy and wit of "America" will have you tapping your feet and cheering along, while the haunting beauty of "Maria" will bring a tear to even the most hardened theatre-goer's eye. But it's not all sunshine and roses here. The recording quality does show its age at times, with some tracks sounding a bit muffled and tinny. And while the performances are top-notch, the occasional lack of clarity in the ensemble numbers can be a bit frustrating. Overall, the original Broadway cast recording of West Side Story is a timeless classic that deserves a place in every musical theatre lover's collection. So grab your dancing shoes, pour yourself a martini, and prepare to be swept away by the magic of Bernstein and Sondheim's masterpiece. Cheers!
