Joshua Bell ~ Bernstein - West Side Story Suite

Leonard Bernstein, David Zinman, ...

Sony, 2001

A Match Made in Heaven
Bell and Bernstein seem made for each other as one can hear in this wonderful recording. Bell's playing somehow is absolutely "right" in it's evocation of Bernstein's spirit and no more so than in the "West Side Story" suite. Special mention should go to Brohn (the ...
