Thank you

I’m now on my second listen. I’m enjoying it more than Sondheim on Sondheim ...

I didn't get past the first song, sound mix was terrible.
Need to give it another chance.

Started to listen to it this morning on my commute. Difficulty hearing the voices at the beginning. Got a bit better further on.
Material is very similar to the JW proms a few years ago.

And half the singers too. None the worse for it.

After seeing Candide at the Menier I’ve been revaluating Bernstein’s work. What a guy, and a great composer. So a big thank you from me for posting this.

Anyone else hear a similarity to one of the themes in On the Waterfront Suite 1955 and Make our Garden Grow, Candide – 1955/6?

I was at the Proms concert it was quite brilliant.
