The Third Album - 1964 Barbra Streisand

From the liner notes: "Miss Streisand's arrangement of 'Just In Time' is art of a piano work for four hands called 'Bridal Suite' written by Leonard Bernstein for Adolph Green and his wife, Phyllis Newman, as a wedding gift. The opening section of the work is called 'Prelude' and was intended to be played by the Greens. Since Mr. Bernstein knew Mr. Green was studying the First Back Prelude, he used this renowned composition as Mr. Green's half, against which Miss Newman was given the melodic line of the Comden-Green-Styne song 'Just In Time' to play, with the whole blending together miraculously, amazingly and touchingly."
