About

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.

BOOKLET comes with new liner notes by David Gutman, and photos from the recording sessions / productions, plus evocative images of Bernstein from 1967 (cf. Cover)

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.
