CD ReviewsGreat but flawed Martin R. Lash | Sister Bay, Wisc | 12/08/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "Some have called this project a disaster. This is an "operatic" version of West Side Story and may not be for everyone. The problem is that Jose Carreras was ill suited to the work. It shows the uncomfortable problems Bernstein has with Carreras. There is a moment when both were very annoyed with each other. But, Kiri Te Kanawa is glorious and the chorus and other singers are a delight. The DVD shows Bernstein was not well during the project: smoking a lot and moments when he seems to be in pain. Despite its problems the singing of "One Hand One Heart" is the best you will ever hear. Like I said, great but flawed. Still, the music is timeless and the DVD is very interesting to watch."
