Title: Not Bernstein's Candide
Review: Sorry, but Bernstein had wanted a huge, bombastic show as can be witnessed by his last recording with the then still marvelous Nicolai Gedda as the Governer.Lonny Price's rendition is just a lot of schtick for no good reason but to put the show on at the cheapest cost possible. Indeed, it is a concert but also a bastardization closer to the irrevent debacle that was Harold Prince's version in the 1970's. I cannot believe artists won't return to Lillian Hellman's book. I own a copy and know how this version must have inspired one of the most magnificent scores in Broadway history. It is a shame that this concert will be such a poor reference point for such a crowning achievement.
