Review
Kate Rockstrom, Readings Carlton
There are a number of recent recordings featuring Leonard Bernstein, but this new seven-CD box-set focuses on his theatre works. Including the rarities A White House Cantata and A Quiet Place, his only complete full-length opera, it also includes his more famous repertoire of West Side Story, Candide and On the Town. For fans of opera who are looking for the verve and excitement of Bernstein’s unique orchestrations, this is a terrific set that will introduce you to fabulous repertoire, unfortunately often neglected.
