Leonard Bernstein West Side Story studio-takes (7a)

"A boy like that"
Initially I found, that eight videos were adequate to represent the recording of the WSS-musical, but this is the last of six videos, that have been requested to complete the whole session. Total playing time will now be: 1 hr 10 min. All these extra videos have a suffix of one or two letters to their number.

I disagree completely, this is music is modern classic and only trained voices could it justice. Bernsteins genius is it's relevant and classic.

These voices are perfect for this music. 

It's Genius.

Troyanos was amazing in this. What a beautiful combination of voices with Te Kanawa.

I visited the museum of Musical Instruments in Phoenix and this was one of the clips on display, a shortened version naturally. I had forgotten how beautiful this is. Some highlights: at 3:10 when Kiri starts her slow part, the note she holds from 4:50 to about 5:00 and her reaction and finally when Tatiana joins in at the end from 5:11 to 5:50. Pure magic!!!
