On The Waterfront - suite from the film music

Available for over a year

A lonely horn solo with its dual portrayal of the New York docks early morning and Marlon Brando’s futile battle for freedom from the corrupt union opens a suite which encompasses all the struggles of working life. With prominent drums and saxes Bernstein clearly had fun composing this. Composer: Leonard Bernstein Performers: BBC Philharmonic Orchestra Conductor: Yan Pascal Tortelier Recording date: 20 July 1998 Date of broadcast: 20 July 1998
