Designed to serve as the perfect introduction to the music of a turbulent century, DG/Decca”s 2014 ”20C” series covers a wide range of key works by the century”s era-defining composers. West Side Story with Kiri Te Kanawa, José Carreras, Tatiana Troyanos, Richard Harrell & Marilyn Horne singing ”Somewhere” Orchestra and Chorus conducted by Leonard Bernstein. “”Bernstein handles the score with meticulous, loving care and the music reaches an unprecedented depth and richness””; “”Musically, “”West Side Story”” uses virtually all of the pop styles that were current when it was composed, including Latin American dance rhythms and jazz syncopations and harmonies. But it is classical in the richness of it”s orchestration and in the depth and Polish of it”s climactic arias.””- the Washington Post, June 1985: Joseph McLellan.
