"The dance music of West Side Story was brought into the concert hall in 1961 in the shape of the continuous suite of Symphonic Dances, assembled and scored for full orchestra (under Bernstein’s supervision) by Sid Ramin and Irving Kostal".

"If a bit off-beat, the Schermerhorn recording is good enough to become part of the Bernstein canon. The sound is preternaturally clear".

"As Maria, Silber accounts for several highlights on this recording. Her gleaming, peach-pure soprano lends sweetness and sexiness to the romantic duets ... Tilson Thomas and the orchestra bring a wonderful clarity and pulsing sense of lushness to these songs and scenes ... The percussion section covers itself in glory, punching up rhythms and deftly spicing things up throughout".

"A fabulous new recording ... This San Francisco take on Manhattan is far slicker and more urbane than Bernstein's own ... I love the organised chaos which Tilson Thomas's exaggerated cross-rhythms ... The young lovers here are a far more believable pair than Bernstein's operatic veterans".

"Gershwin's postcard from Havana sounds oddly downbeat and detached ... West Side Story diappoints, too. Stree-wise "attitude" and a sense of danger are in short supply".

"Orkestern rumlar på. Det är stort, det är stärkt, det är detaljerat och ganska långsamt. Och det är första gången jag har tråkigt när jag lyssnar på West Side Story, till stor del på grund av Tilson Thomas ledning som alldeles för ofta brister i både sväng och tempo ... Gå och köp Broadway-inspelningen från 2009 i stället. Där finns allt som saknas här".

"Tilson Thomas's version scores heavily with its casting of the appealingly youthful-sounding Cheyenne Jackson as Tony and Alexandra Silber as Maria ... The orchestra swings like the biggest of big bands, with a driving kit drummer and some spectacular trumpet playing ... The performance deserves, and demands, tumultuous applause".

"Any listener who keeps any sort of open mind, forgetting the constriction of barriers, must recognise this historic disc as superb entertainment and great music-making on every level, with an emotional impact closely akin to that of a Puccini opera".

"Takes a frankly operatic approach in its casting, but the result is highly succesful, for the great vocal melodies are worthy of voices of the highest calibre ... He [Bernstein] conducts a superb instrumental group of musicians "from on and off Broadway"".

"In all, though, pretty damn good, and the first serious challenge to the perhaps never to be surpassed Broadway original - and more importantly for some, it's musically if not quite dramatically, complete".

"Vurdering: IRR outstanding" - "Michael Tilson Thomas understands Bernstein's music as well as anybody alive, and the best of this recording is fabulous ... Absolutely not to be missed by anyone who caers about this great musical".
