5.0 out of 5 stars
Some of the most original music written for the stage., August 18, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: West Side Story (Audio CD)
I re-bought this on CD after having seen the original with Larry Kert many years ago. The clerk said it sells out like it was issued yesterday. The songs are beautiful and touching and the theme is timeless. "Somewhere" was meant to be sung simply and not the overblown versions you hear today. And it is simply done on the original. The same is true of "One Hand, One Heart". The stage version soundtrack is far superior to the movie version. Even though the stage version is a little less polished, the intensity of the theme comes through much better. This must be part of any Show tune collection.
