I've loved Bernstein for decades. I've been a fan of Jerry Hadley's for years. I read about this CD some time ago, but with two recorded versions of Candide already in my library already, it seemed extravagant. But with Jerry Hadley's tragic death and a good deal on a used copy . . . you get the drift. It's Candide the way Lenny wanted it. The orchestra and chorus are magnificent. Jerry Hadley is his usual warm and brilliant self. It's a pleasure to have Adolph Green along. A creative giant and Lenny's pal. A great choice for Dr. Pangloss. June Anderson is, well, OK. Impressive technique, but a little to "trained" for me. But I give her credit for effort. No one can equal Barbara Cook in the original.
This version collects all the music created for all the versions of this musical. The concert performances are top notch, and production is spot on.
