West Side Story: Original Film Soundtrack + Original Broadway Cast
Album GB 2014 on Soundtrack Factory label
Soundtrack (Musical, Soundtrack)
West Side Story, with music by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, was one of both Broadway and Hollywood's greatest hits. The 1957 Broadway show ran for 732 performances before going on tour and the production was nominated for six Tony Awards. The innovative 1961 musical film based on the play was nominated for eleven Academy Awards and won ten. This release presents both the Broadway Cast Recording and the Original Film Soundtrack in a single edition. As a bonus, it also includes a rare version of "One Hand, One Heart" with vocals by Jo Stafford (recorded two days before the opening night of the tryout of West Side Story), as well as a set of symphonic dances composed by Bernstein on the basis of the songs from West Story and recorded in 1961 by Bernstein himself along with the New York Philarmonic Orchestra.
