One of the Broadway musicals that can genuinely claim to have transformed the genre, West Side Story has been featured in many books on Broadway, but it has yet to be the focus of a scholarly monograph. Nigel Simeone begins by exploring the long process of creating West Side Story, including a discussion of Bernstein's sketches, early drafts of the score and script, as well as cut songs. The core of the book is a commentary on the music itself. West Side Story is one of the very few Broadway musicals for which there is a complete published orchestral score, as well as two different editions of the piano-vocal score. The survival of the original copied orchestral score, and the reminiscences of Sid Ramin and Irwin Kostal, reveal details of the orchestration process, and the extent to which Bernstein was involved in this. Simeone's commentary considers: musical characteristics and compositional techniques used to mirror the drama (for example, the various uses of the tritone), motivic development, the use and reinvention of Broadway and other conventions, the creation of dramatic continuity in the score through the use of motifs and other devices, the unusual degree of dissonance and rhythmic complexity (at least for the time), and the integration of Latin-American dance forms (Mambo, Huapango and so on). Simeone also considers the reception of West Side Story in the contemporary press. The stir the show caused included the response that it was the angular, edgy score that made it a remarkable achievement. Not all reviews were uncritical. Finally, the book looks in detail at the making of the original Broadway cast recording, made in just one day, included on the accompanying CD.

Romeo und Julia unter den Brücken von New York Rund 350 Jahre nach Shakespeares Tragödie "Romeo and Juliet" fanden vier amerikanische Bühnenkünstler zusammen, um aus der Renaissance-Vorlage ein aktuelles Zeitstück zu formen. In zehnjähriger Arbeit schufen der Komponist Leonard Bernstein, der Autor Arthur Laurents, der Choreograf und Regisseur Jerome Robbins und der Songtexter Stephen Sondheim ein bewegendes Meisterwerk, das vor dem Hintergrund der "Halbstarkenkrawalle" in den 1950er-Jahren eine Geschichte von Liebe, Hass und Hoffnung erzählt. Seit der Uraufführung 1957 gehört das Werk neben "Anatevka", "Cabaret" und "My Fair Lady" zu den meistgespielten Musicals weltweit. Das Buch erscheint zum 25. Todestag von Leonard Bernstein. Das Buch bietet • eine ausführliche Beschreibung der Entstehung und der beteiligten Künstler, der Handlung und der musikalischen Gestaltung • anschauliche Figurenportraits • Informationen zum zeitgeschichtlichen Hintergrund, zu Verfilmungen und kreativen Bearbeitungen in Jazz, Pop & Rock Die Autoren Wolfgang Jansen unterrichtet an der Universität der Künste Berlin Theater- und Musicalgeschichte. Er veröffentlichte zahlreiche Publikationen zum populären Musiktheater (Revue, Operette, Musical), zuletzt "Cats & Co., Geschichte des Musicals im deutschsprachigen Theater". Gregor Herzfeld ist Privatdozent für Musikwissenschaft an der Freien Universität Berlin, Redakteur der Zeitschrift "Archiv für Musikwissenschaft" und wirkt an mehreren aktuellen Publikationen zu Leonard Bernstein mit.

A captivating, richly illustrated full account of the making of the ground-breaking movie classic West Side Story (1961). A major hit on Broadway, on film West Side Story became immortal-a movie different from anything that had come before, but this cinematic victory came at a price. In this engrossing volume, film historian Richard Barrios recounts how the drama and rivalries seen onscreen played out to equal intensity behind-the-scenes, while still achieving extraordinary artistic feats. The making and impact of West Side Story has so far been recounted only in vestiges. In the pages of this book, the backstage tale comes to life along with insight on what has made the film a favorite across six decades: its brilliant use of dance as staged by erstwhile co-director Jerome Robbins; a meaningful story, as set to Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim's soundtrack; the performances of a youthful ensemble cast featuring Natalie Wood, Rita Moreno, George Chakiris, and more; a film with Shakespearean roots (Romeo and Juliet) that is simultaneously timeless and current. West Side Story was a triumph that appeared to be very much of its time; over the years it has shown itself to be eternal.

“With their intellectual brilliance, humor and wonderful eye for detail, Leonard Bernstein’s letters blow all biographies out of the water.”—The Economist (2013 Book of the Year) Leonard Bernstein was a charismatic and versatile musician—a brilliant conductor who attained international superstar status, and a gifted composer of Broadway musicals (West Side Story), symphonies (Age of Anxiety), choral works (Chichester Psalms), film scores (On the Waterfront), and much more. Bernstein was also an enthusiastic letter writer, and this book is the first to present a wide-ranging selection of his correspondence. The letters have been selected for the insights they offer into the passions of his life—musical and personal—and the extravagant scope of his musical and extra-musical activities. Bernstein’s letters tell much about this complex man, his collaborators, his mentors, and others close to him. His galaxy of correspondents encompassed, among others, Aaron Copland, Stephen Sondheim, Jerome Robbins, Thornton Wilder, Boris Pasternak, Bette Davis, Adolph Green, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and family members including his wife Felicia and his sister Shirley. The majority of these letters have never been published before. They have been carefully chosen to demonstrate the breadth of Bernstein’s musical interests, his constant struggle to find the time to compose, his turbulent and complex sexuality, his political activities, and his endless capacity for hard work. Beyond all this, these writings provide a glimpse of the man behind the legends: his humanity, warmth, volatility, intellectual brilliance, wonderful eye for descriptive detail, and humor. “The correspondence from and to the remarkable conductor is full of pleasure and insights.”—The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice) “Exhaustive, thrilling [and] indispensable.”—USA Today (starred review)
