Review title: Candide as it should be heard.
Product review: This, the final opera-house version of Candide, is by far the best Candide recording you can buy. All the brilliant subtleties in the music that reflect the bizzare and cynical story come alive in this recording. Having listened to the broadway recordings (which I found lacking), it is obvious that THIS is the way Candide should be heard, as an opera. In this form, the beautiful and complicated music of Bernstein provides the most appropriate contrast to Voltaire's ridiculous (but hilarious) satire, making the work all the more enjoyable and meaningful. Conducted by Bernstein and performed by some of the foremost musicians in the world, you won't find a better Candide recording.
