L. Bernstein: Wonderful Town
Bernstein: Wonderful Town (Bonus Track Version)
David Butt Philip, London Symphony Orchestra, Duncan Rock, Alysha Umphress, Nathan Gunn, London Symphony Chorus, Danielle de Niese, Sir Simon Rattle
Déclaration d’amour de Leonard Bernstein à la ville qui l’a vu grandir, Wonderful Town raconte les tribulations de deux sœurs à New York, entre bohème et rêve américain. Pour célébrer le centenaire de la naissance du compositeur, Sir Simon Rattle transforme le London Symphony Orchestra en chaleureux big band, y ajoutant cinq saxophones qui font vibrer les chansons et leurs interprètes Danielle de Niese et Alysha Umphress. En prime, une version en concert de « Conga ! » avec la participation du public, conclut en feu d’artifice cet éclatant mariage du jazz et de l’opéra.
