| Wonderful Town Soundtrack Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)   One of Musical's Masterpiece by Bernstein Wonderful Town, wonderful life and wonderful music !
This is by far one of the best musicals I've ever heard, and I usually don't like them...
When I first inserted this CD in my player, I didn't know much about Bernstein's Wonderful Town and its history; I was attempting to discover it reading the enclosed libretto, but as soon as the first notes began to play, I losed all my rationality and my eyes and ears went directly to the singers's parts and tracks.
From that moment (as The Eagles say...) the hours went by like minutes and I happened to lose contact with time and reality up to the end of Ruth and Eileene's story. Every track was so beautiful that the whole opera ended before I could realise how great it is. So I re-heard the CD again paying attention, this time, to keep my common sens as soon as possible.
I discovered it to be not only a great masterpiece, but that every single track has been composed and performed in an almost perfect way (why almost? Well, Perfection doesn't exist in this world...); all the pieces are full of energy and warmth and the recording is great too: sound engeneers made a big work here; you can feel all the depth and the size of a big stage, breathtaking dynamics and marvellous tones, either in the instrumental pieces or in the vocal ones.
To cut things short this is, in my opinion, one of the best CD I (happily) have in my collection, a "don't miss it" one. Submitted by verneaugiacomo (Lonate Ceppino (VA), Italy) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 1 found this helpful.
