100 anos de Leonard Bernstein — Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990): West Side Story (Bernstein)

IM-PER-DÍ-VEL !!!

Leonard Bernstein (Lawrence, 25 de agosto de 1918 – Nova Iorque, 14 de outubro de 1990). Aqui, todas as postagens desta série.

Já haviam me pedido pra postar West Side Story há mais de um ano (vi sem querer nos comentários de um post perdido). Como “a justiça tarda mas não falha” (frase original minha, que bolei agora), aí vai. Não é a versão original, mas o revival de 1984 com Carreras, Te Kanawa e Lenny regendo (procurem no YouTube um vídeo em que rola um estresse entre o tenor e o compositor nos ensaios de Maria). Prefiro a versão 1959, com os cantores pop do filme e tudo o mais (meu back up com ela está guardado não sei onde), porém nesta os cantores de ópera merecem um crédito por terem minimizado o quanto puderam as impostações chatas do bel canto.
