COMMUNITY REVIEWS

A classic submitted by ashflowtuff on June 17, 2016, 9:20am Great music and great story. It's interesting to listen to with kids and realize how attitudes and perspectives have changed. Still remains a powerful and relevant work of art.

Revolutionary musical submitted by FordAlpha on August 25, 2019, 9:35pm Bernstein's music for "West Side Story" is absolutely genius. The propulsive rhythms, use of different instruments and sound effects, and varied motifs and styles influenced by vernacular music make it endlessly listenable and compelling. The voice work in this original soundtrack is great (not all of the actors in the film performed their own singing).

WSS soundtrack submitted by a2sue on August 26, 2019, 3:39am The soundtrack for West Side Story is simoly wonderful! Loved it.
