In 1984 Deutsche Grammaphone asked Leonard Bernstein to re-record the entire score to his classic 1957 musical. He hired Kiri Te Kanawa and Jose Careras to sing the leads. This film records the four-day session.
Fascinating view of the remarkable musical genius in action. No wonder he was so revered by his contemporaries. Hearing the music done by such talented performers brought it to life again...made it seem fresh and timeless. A great project...a great film.
