Bernstein's portrayal of youth in West Side Story
This LP was released in 1985 and contains a landmark musical work.
Bernstein's innovative music and Sondheim's poetic lyrics vividly bring this modern-day Romeo and Juliet to life. The score, incorporating elements of jazz and Latin music, broke new ground for Broadway musicals, making this a landmark work that bridges the gap between classical and popular music.
