1	West Side Story (1997) more music like this by Dave Grusin add to wishlist To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the opening of West Side Story on Broadway, Dave Grusin revived the score, giving its ten themes fresh arrangements that keep the original melodies in mind but add a stronger dose of jazz and Afro-Cuban rhythms to the music. For the most rewarding recording of this music since Stan Kenton's powerful renditions ... see all copies from £5.57! new only from £9.29!
2	West Side Story (1962) more music like this by Oscar Peterson Trio add to wishlist West Side Story was a bit of an unusual session for several reasons. First, the popularity of both the Broadway musical and the film version that followed meant that there were many records being made of its music. Second, rather than woodshed on the selections prior to entering the studio, the Oscar Peterson Trio spontaneously created impressions ... see all copies from £6.82! new only from £9.61!
3	West Side Story (1961) more music like this by Stan Kenton add to wishlist When the producers of the film West Side Story heard a sampling of what the Stan Kenton Orchestra had done to their score, they were disappointed that they had not thought to ask the band to play on the soundtrack. Johnny Richards's arrangements of ten of the famous play's melodies are alternately dramatic and tender with plenty of the passion ... see all copies from £8.00! new only from £8.00!
4	West Side Story: 50th Anniversary Recording (2007) more music like this by Leonard Bernstein add to wishlist see all copies from £12.40! new only from £12.40!
5	West Side Story: The Original Score (2002) more music like this by Leonard Bernstein add to wishlist This delightful and revelatory recording accomplishes something that the composer, Leonard Bernstein, attempted and failed to achieve more than a decade earlier. West Side Story has its operatic moments, enough that Bernstein in the 1980s did a recording with major operatic singers in the roles -- the problem was that those same singers were all ... see all copies from £3.09! new only from £6.09!
6	Bernstein: Candide; West Side Story; On the Waterfront; Fancy Free (1997) more music like this by New York Philharmonic, Leonard Bernstein (conductor) add to wishlist see all copies from £3.63! new only from £6.09!
7	West Side Story [Expanded Original Soundtrack] (2004) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist The soundtrack of the West Side Story film is deservedly one of the most popular soundtrack recordings of all time, and one of the relatively few to have attained long-term popularity beyond a specialized soundtrack/theatrical musical audience. (It is an entirely different recording, it should be emphasized, from the original Broadway cast ... see all copies from £6.74! new only from £6.74!
8	West Side Story Suite (2001) more music like this by Joshua Bell/Philharmonica Orchestra/David Zinman add to wishlist Accompanied by the Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by David Zinman, violinist Joshua Bell introduces William David Brohn's arrangement of "West Side Story Suite," a 19-minute work drawn from Leonard Bernstein's music for the Broadway musical West Side Story, in a world-premiere recording. The arrangement comes ten years after Bernstein's death, ... see all copies from £3.16! new only from £4.93!
9	A Place for Us: A Tribute to 50 Years of West Side Story (2007) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The Masterworks Broadway division of Sony BMG delves into the archives of Columbia Records and RCA Victor Records to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Broadway opening of West Side Story, also commissioning a couple of new recordings. The point here seems to be to demonstrate the breadth of different interpretations of Leonard Bernstein and ... see all copies from £3.09! new only from £3.95!
10	West Side Story [Original Broadway Cast] (1957) more music like this by Original Broadway Cast Recording add to wishlist West Side Story is one of the greatest musicals of all time, effectively blending Broadway with a symphonic grandeur (courtesy of Leonard Bernstein, who put music to Stephen Sondheim's lyrics), accents from jazz and Latin music, and a rarely heard (in Broadway) toughness on classics like "Jet Song," "America," and "Cool." The 1957 original ... see all copies from £4.96! new only from £4.96!
11	The Songs of West Side Story (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist In 1992, AIDS Project Los Angeles staged an all-star benefit concert in which contemporary artists performed songs from West Side Story. It was a cute one-shot idea and well-received (especially with such inspired choices as having Elton John sing "I Feel Pretty"). That should have been the end of it, but several years later, producer David Pack ... see all copies from £3.09! new only from £6.81!
12	Symphonic Dances & Songs from West Side Story (1989) by Leonard Bernstein/Katia & Marielle Labeque add to wishlist see all copies from £3.09! new only from £6.09!
13	Bernstein: Symphonic Dances from West Side Story; Three Dance Episodes from On The Town; Candide (Selections) (2003) more music like this by Adolph Green (vocals), Christa Ludwig (vocals), Della Jones (vocals), Jerry Hadley (vocals), June Anderson (vocals), Kurt Ollmann (vocals), Nicolai Gedda (vocals), London Symphony Chorus (choir, chorus), Leonard Bernstein (conductor) add to wishlist see all copies from £3.45! new only from £5.40!
14	West Side Story [CBS Original Soundtrack] (1960) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist This film version of the Leonard Bernstein/Stephen Sondheim score of a modern, urban Romeo and Juliet spent more weeks at #1 in the charts (54) than any other album in history. It is an effective rendition of the score, featuring Natalie Wood, Richard Beymer, Russ Tamblyn, Rita Moreno, and George Chakiris, and features all of the show's important ... see all copies from £6.44!
15	West Side Story/Candide/On the Town (3 Dances) (1990) by Bernstein/New York Philharmonic add to wishlist see all copies from £3.09!
16	Bernstein: Symphony No. 2 "The Age of Anxiety"; West Side Story Symphonic Dances; Candide (2002) more music like this by Jean Louis Steuerman (piano), Florida Philharmonic Orchestra, James Judd (conductor) add to wishlist see all copies from £6.44! new only from £6.44!
17	Bernstein: West Side Story; Symphonic Dances (2006) more music like this by Sabine Meyer (clarinet), Wayne Marshall (piano), City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Paavo Järvi (conductor) add to wishlist Don't be put off by the combination of a British orchestra and a Finnish conductor -- part of the appeal of Leonard Bernstein's music lay in the way he stood a bit aside from the jazz, Broadway, and popular dance rhythms he used. He thought he was struggling with the ascendancy of serialism, but actually he was attempting something much more ... see all copies from £6.38! new only from £6.38!
18	Bernstein: Candide; West Side Story (2004) more music like this by New York Philharmonic, Leonard Bernstein (conductor) add to wishlist Composer Leonard Bernstein's greatest hits, so to speak, all come from the 1940s and 1950s: Fancy Free, Candide, On the Town, and West Side Story. Less well-known, but very closely tied to those works is Bernstein's only film score, for Elia Kazan's On the Waterfront. All of these works represent music that is meant to be combined with another ... see all copies from £6.09! new only from £6.09!
19	Suite from on the Waterfront/West Side Story (1985) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist Leonard Bernstein conducts his own score on this studio recording, which features opera singers Kiri Te Kanawa and José Carreras. The singers somewhat overwhelm the material (and it's more than a little odd that the only person with a Spanish accent is Carreras, who plays Tony, the American Romeo), but the music is magnificent. ~ William Ruhlmann, ... see all copies from £6.23!
20	Bayless Meets Bernstein: West Side Story Variations (1992) more music like this by John Bayless (piano) add to wishlist see all copies from £14.24! new only from £14.24!

24	Cal Tjader Plays Harold Arlen/West Side Story (2002) more music like this by Cal Tjader add to wishlist Two Tjader albums recorded in 1960, Cal Tjader Plays Harold Arlen and West Side Story, are combined on one CD on this 2002 reissue. Using two separate backup trios on Cal Tjader Plays Harold Arlen, Tjader took on 11 Harold Arlen songs (actually all songs that he co-wrote) for these two days of mid-1960 sessions, with "Over the Rainbow" and "Blues ... see all copies from £7.91! new only from £7.91!
