Candide

Album by Leonard Bernstein & Jerry Hadley & June Anderson & Christa Ludwig & Adolph Green & Nicolai Gedda & Della Jones & Kurt Ollmann & London Symphony Orchestra & London Symphony Chorus & Leonard Bernstein

Candide is an operetta by American composer Leonard Bernstein, first staged in 1956. The score blends classical and Broadway traditions with operatic vocal writing, brisk orchestral passages and satirical lyricism, and it occupies a notable place in Bernstein's mid‑20th‑century output for bridging concert-hall techniques and musical-theatre idioms.
