David Nettle/Richard Markham - Leonard Bernstein, Richard Rodney Bennett: Scene from West Side Story

To mark Leonard Bernstein�s Centenary, Guild is proud to release Nettle & Markham�s recording of their two piano arrangement of Scenes from West Side Story. This was the duo�s first large-scale transcription for two pianos. Created for the Berlin Festival, it was an immediate success. It formed part of Leonard Bernstein�s official 70th birthday celebrations in 1988 and brought David & Richard into contact with the composer � no stranger to two piano performance and transcription playing � in his last years. Sometime later they were delighted to present him with this recording, which has been remastered for its release on Guild. The CD also includes Richard Rodney Bennett�s Four Piece Suite and Grainger�s Fantasy on Gershwin�s Porgy & Bess.
