5.0 out of 5 stars Unbeatable except by its video version, 20 Mar 2009
By captain cuttle (Vancouver, Canada) - See all my reviews
At the time of writing of this review there are two versions of this performance, one on cd and one on VHS. They're sufficiently different to warrant buying both and, believe me, they're worth it. Both recordings are from a series of concert performances in 1992 at the Barbican. The cd omits a couple of numbers and encores as well as the narration, but includes one number omitted from the video, "The intermission's great." Sound is of course better on the cd but stage action (there's lots of it!) and video footage behind the orchestral interludes more than compensate.
The mix of opera and Broadway stars works so well (none of the stiffness of Bernstein's "opera" version of West Side Story) it's difficult to pick a special mention, but it's hard to imagine the work without Tyne Daly as Hildy, the cab driver. The entire cast looks like it's having a ball and the LSO rises to the occasion under the baton of Tilson Thomas, swinging like Basie's '30s line-up. In particular, the brass section plays out of its skin and only a rather stiff sax solo hints at any lack of comfort with the genre. All in all, both video and cd are treasures of a very special occasion, one I'd have given much to have attended live.

The only criticism I'd offer is that it's high time this work was on dvd or blu-ray, where the best of its two current formats could be combined. I'll be first in line to buy it when it appears.
