{"product_id":"leonard-bernstein-conducts-west-side-story","title":"Leonard Bernstein conducts West Side Story","description":"Amazon.com\n\nControversial as an essential Carreras recording, West Side Story isn't an opera, and neither is the tenor, operatic star José Carreras, an American-born Broadway singer. But the music is operatic in quality--let's say in durability. It is Bernstein's most established masterpiece, his surest claim to be remembered as a composer a century from now; the source is Shakespeare and the music has a seriousness, color, and intensity worthy of its subject. And this recording represents the way the composer wanted it to sound, with his choice of the best available voices. Carreras sounds like he was born to sing \"Something's Coming,\" \"Maria,\" and \"Tonight.\" Perhaps he was born to sing them in Spanish, but opera lovers regularly take bigger language problems than that in stride for the sake of vocal quality. --Joe McLellan\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000001G62\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 4EKGRJ0063Z1_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Kiri Te Kanawa|José Carreras|Tatiana Troyanos|Kurt Ollmann|Marilyn Horne\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
