Amazon.com - Ordered 02.17.2000 - Shipped 03/09/2000 - Received 03/21/2000 Orchestrations by Leonard Bernstein, Hershy Kay, Don Walker, Ted Royal, Elliot Jacoby, Bruce Coughlin National Symphony Orchestra, conducted by John Owen Edwards Recorded at Abbey Road Studios on May 9, 10, 11 1995. The booklet contains 1 big B&W picture of Lenoard Bernstein, 8 small B&W ID pictures of the main performers. There is a big (2 pages) colorized picture of the original production. There is a 2 pages text followed by a 3 pages synopsis, both by Rexton S. Bunnett I'm not very familiar with this musical, which is for sure a high class musical with a relatively complex score, but I'll need some more years of musicals listening before being able to correctly comment such a recording. Roughly, I like the score, but as a whole, not for particularly attractive numbers (though I like the melody of Carried Away). Just an additional point: vocal performances are really good.
