Title: The Essence of the '40s!
Review: On The Town proves -- again -- that Leonard Bernstein's real gift to us was his musical theater work. His score for On The Town goes way beyond the songs -- dance numbers, etc. -- and this CD gives you a real taste of all his flavors. The performers, including Betty Comden and Adolph Green, who wrote and starred in the original Broadway production, are lively, irreverant, funny and "up...". Even though it was recorded a decade after the original show closed, it has a real "live" feel to it. I also think the not very often performed "Some Other Time" ranks up there in "Standards Heaven" with the best of the Gershwins.
