Free Music Review: How it should be
Hit: 5 Stars
For those of you who think that Mr. Carreras and Dame Te Kanewa are miscast, why in the world would the composer himself chose them for the recording he conducted? I'll tell you why. Because Mr. Bernstein knew that only singers of their caliber could fully display the beauty of the music which he wrote. I completely admit that I am a huge opera fan and aspiring lyric tenor. However I, like a greater majority of you, grew up listening to Broadway musicals, not operas. There are definitely many musicals in which opera singers would be miscast. Not this one. For those of you who have Broadway -style voices etched in your head, I challenge you to try and forget those for just a minute while you listen to Carerras sing "Maria" and try to tell me that anyone can sing it more beautifully. (Although I would sure love to hear Carlo Bergonzi) And Marilyn Horne goes without saying. Buy this recording not only because it is what Bernstein wanted, but because it is the most beautiful, period.
