Album Notes
Music composed by Leonard Bernstein. Lyrics written by Betty Comden and Adolph Green.
Principal cast includes: Jennifer Westfeldt (Eileen Sherwood); David Margulies (Appopolous); Michael McGrath (Chick Clark); Raymond Jaramillo McLeod (Wreck); Peter Benson (Frank Lippencott).
Recorded at Righ Track Studios, New York, New York on January 12, 2004.
Donna Murphy stars as Ruth Sherwood, an aspiring writer from Ohio who is new to New York City, in this 2003 production of WONDERFUL TOWN. On each of Murphy's featured tracks, her voice is powerful and captivating. Her singing on the ballad "Ohio" is particularly poignant and entrancing; teamed up with Jennifer Westfeldt (as Ruth's sister Eileen), Murphy makes this song is one of show's true high points.
The swanky "One Hundred Easy Ways" moves along in a jazzier vein. On this selection, Murphy is accompanied by punchy brass figures and bouncy clarinet lines. Later in the show, listeners are treated to the big-band chart "Swing," which includes a great deal of vocal and instrumental call and response, as well as the clever "Wrong Note Rag," a tune that simulates a skipping record player and purposely includes sour notes. Additionally, "Ballet at the Village Vortex" is rendered exquisitely by the orchestra. On this tune, composer Leonard Bernstein recalls the swinging style of Benny Goodman and all the elegance of the Jazz Age. WONDERFUL TOWN closes with two bonus tracks from the 1953 production. The first is a medley of "Ohio," "It's Love," and "Quiet Girl," and the second is a raucous version of "Wrong Note Rag," with both featuring performances by lyricists Betty Comden and Adolph Green themselves.
