Our Take

London Symphony Orchestra and Simon Rattle team up with the London Symphony Chorus to bring us a dose of musical theatre magic with Leonard Bernstein's "Wonderful Town." And let me tell you, it's a hoot and a half.

From the lively overture to the show-stopping finale, this album is a non-stop rollercoaster of catchy tunes and infectious energy. The orchestra is on point, delivering Bernstein's jazzy, syncopated score with flair and finesse. Rattle conducts with his usual gusto, bringing out every nuance of the music and keeping the pace brisk and lively.

But it's the LSC that steals the show here. Their harmonies are tight, their diction is crystal clear, and their energy is infectious. Whether they're belting out the big numbers like "Ohio" or "Conga," or bringing a touch of tenderness to the ballads, they hit every note with precision and panache.

Of course, it wouldn't be a Bernstein album without a healthy dose of wit and charm, and "Wonderful Town" delivers in spades. The lyrics are clever and cheeky, the melodies are catchy and toe-tapping, and the whole thing is just a joy to listen to.

So grab your top hat and tails, put on your dancing shoes, and get ready to be swept off your feet by the London Symphony Orchestra, Simon Rattle, and the London Symphony Chorus. "Wonderful Town" is a musical theatre masterpiece that'll leave you grinning from ear to ear. Go on, give it a spin – you know you want to.
