Bernstein: West Side Story (Arr. For Violin And Saxophone Qu

This recording is of Leonard Bernstein’s seminal musical, West Side Story, in a unique arrangement for violin and saxophone quartet made by composer-conductor Henk Huizinga, performed by Gwendolyn Masin and the Melisma Saxophone Quartet. The unusual combination of instruments works superbly: the violin line soars, often taking the main vocal melody, while the winds show their versatility with sonorities ranging from earthy to delicate. You get all the favorites, including "Somewhere," "Tonight," "Gee, Officer Krupke," and "America."
