Leonard Bernstein was one of the most colourful and multi-talented geniuses of the 20th century – as composer, conductor, pianist, writer and educator. On 14 October this year we commemorate the 20th anniversary of his death.
He captivated Broadway with such smash hits as On the Town and West Side Story. Here they are, with three other theatre works: the satirical operetta Candide, the full opera A Quiet Place; and the rare White House Cantata.
On this 7-CD set all five works are brought together for the first time. Of Bernstein’s major theatre works, only Wonderful Town is not included.
