1	West Side Story [Expanded Original Soundtrack] (2004) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The soundtrack of the West Side Story film is deservedly one of the most popular soundtrack recordings of all time, and one of the relatively few to have attained long-term popularity beyond a specialized soundtrack/theatrical musical audience. (It is an entirely different recording, it should be emphasized, from the original Broadway cast ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
2	West Side Story [Original Broadway Cast] (1957) more music like this by Original Broadway Cast Recording West Side Story is one of the greatest musicals of all time, effectively blending Broadway with a symphonic grandeur (courtesy of Leonard Bernstein, who put music to Stephen Sondheim's lyrics), accents from jazz and Latin music, and a rarely heard (in Broadway) toughness on classics like "Jet Song," "America," and "Cool." The 1957 original ... see all copies from $6.44! new only from $11.06!
3	The Songs of West Side Story (1996) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.59!
4	West Side Story (1961) more music like this by Stan Kenton When the producers of the film West Side Story heard a sampling of what the Stan Kenton Orchestra had done to their score, they were disappointed that they had not thought to ask the band to play on the soundtrack. Johnny Richards's arrangements of ten of the famous play's melodies are alternately dramatic and tender with plenty of the passion ... see all copies from $5.74! new only from $9.32!
5	Great Musicals [RCA] (2001) more music like this by Various Artists "Great musicals aren't always hits or award winners," writes annotator and A&R director Bill Rosenfield in his liner notes for Great Musicals, which a cover sticker nevertheless identifies as "great songs from Broadway blockbusters." Prepared as an entry in a series of albums commemorating RCA Victor Records' 100th birthday, the album is an odd ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.06!
6	West Side Story [CBS Original Soundtrack] (1960) more music like this by Original Soundtrack This film version of the Leonard Bernstein/Stephen Sondheim score of a modern, urban Romeo and Juliet spent more weeks at #1 in the charts (54) than any other album in history. It is an effective rendition of the score, featuring Natalie Wood, Richard Beymer, Russ Tamblyn, Rita Moreno, and George Chakiris, and features all of the show's important ... see all copies from $3.72!
7	West Side Story (1997) more music like this by Dave Grusin To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the opening of West Side Story on Broadway, Dave Grusin revived the score, giving its ten themes fresh arrangements that keep the original melodies in mind but add a stronger dose of jazz and Afro-Cuban rhythms to the music. For the most rewarding recording of this music since Stan Kenton's powerful renditions ... see all copies from $4.35! new only from $4.35!
8	Cal Tjader Plays Harold Arlen/West Side Story (2002) more music like this by Cal Tjader Two Tjader albums recorded in 1960, Cal Tjader Plays Harold Arlen and West Side Story, are combined on one CD on this 2002 reissue. Using two separate backup trios on Cal Tjader Plays Harold Arlen, Tjader took on 11 Harold Arlen songs (actually all songs that he co-wrote) for these two days of mid-1960 sessions, with "Over the Rainbow" and "Blues ... see all copies from $16.34! new only from $16.34!
9	West Side Story: The Original Score (2002) more music like this by Leonard Bernstein This delightful and revelatory recording accomplishes something that the composer, Leonard Bernstein, attempted and failed to achieve more than a decade earlier. West Side Story has its operatic moments, enough that Bernstein in the 1980s did a recording with major operatic singers in the roles -- the problem was that those same singers were all ... see all copies from $5.95! new only from $7.71!

Larry Kert and Carol Lawrence sing the leads magnificently. Bernstein's instrumental ballet music for this ... see all copies from $3.50! new only from $9.95!

16 view cover	Forbidden Broadway, Vol. 3 (1994) more music like this by Original Cast Though the second volume of Forbidden Broadway was recorded and released in 1991, writer/director Gerard Alessandrini apparently hadn't quite had his say on the Broadway shows of the late 1980s, since he mixes into the third volume his parodies of Grand Hotel ("Grim Hotel") and a production of The Merchant of Venice starring Dustin Hoffman as ... see all copies from $8.91! new only from $8.91!

21 view cover	West Side Story [Deutsche Grammophon] (2003) more music like this by Leonard Bernstein At the time of this recording in 1984, no one could have known that Leonard Bernstein -- then 65 years old -- was entering the last phase of his career. The resulting release, on LP and later on CD, featuring Kiri Te Kanawa, Tatiana Troyanos, José Carreras, Kurt Ollmann, and Marilyn Horne, became a favorite of opera enthusiasts for the obvious ... see all copies from $13.96! new only from $13.96!
22	West Side Story (1957) more music like this by Manny Albam Arranger Manny Albam was a logical choice to lead a large ensemble performing excerpts from the huge Broadway hit West Side Story.
