Columbia House's Great American Composers series of double discs generally picks from among Columbia Records' large catalog of pop singer albums to assemble collections of songs written by a particular songwriter or songwriting team. The Leonard Bernstein volume differs somewhat from the others in that the subject is as well-known as a composer of serious music as of songs and in that his body of songs is small and written exclusively for the musical theater. Thus, compiler Didier C. Deutsch has organized the album into six parts corresponding to six Bernstein theater pieces: On the Town, Trouble in Tahiti, Wonderful Town, Candide, West Side Story, and Mass. (The unrecorded 1976 flop 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is absent.) His primary sources for these shows are Columbia's original cast albums of Candide and West Side Story, a 1961 studio cast album of the 1944 On the Town, and a 1958 TV soundtrack of the 1953 Wonderful Town, the latter two each featuring members of the original Broadway casts. To his credit, Deutsch doesn't simply compress these albums, but instead finds some interesting substitutions, notably a mournful Judy Holliday recording of 'Lonely Town' from On the Town, buoyant Julie Andrews recordings of 'A Little Bit in Love' from Wonderful Town and 'I Feel Pretty' from West Side Story, and a triumphant Robert Goulet recording of 'Maria' from West Side Story. He also includes a lot of instrumental music, some of it conducted by Bernstein himself. The result is a varied collection of Bernstein's music ranging over theater performances, pop singing, and orchestral treatments, an appropriately eclectic approach to an eclectic artist.
