WEST SIDE STORY ON COLIN HOLMES MAGIC OF THE MUSICALS 5TH JULY 2015.

WEST SIDE STORY....COLUMBIA RECORDS / SONY MUSIC.  FILM VERSION .. Marnie Nixon, Bill Lee.

Tracks played....

Prologue / Jet song / Something's coming / Maria / America / Tonight / I feel pretty / Quintet /  Cool.
Somewhere.

The outstanding film version of the music of West Side Story is definitely the best version of the score. The voices are mostly correct with the youth orientated  feel  of off-Broadway danger.Perhaps Maria seems a little 'English' sometimes  especially on 'I feel pretty' but as a whole this is the finest preservation of the show.*****.
