Celebrating 75 years of MGM musicals!Submitted by Marcus on Sun, 2009-08-02 11:00
Here is the BBC Prom radio concert for you to enjoy! You should be able to access this from overseas unlike the TV broadcast I watched last night. If you wish to listen to the glorious 'Stranger in Paradise' duet I mentioned yesterday - you can fast forward to it 45 minutes in. But the whole thing is definitely worth a listen http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/e... "From the Royal Albert Hall, London. Presented by Petroc Trelawny. John Wilson and his hand-picked Orchestra celebrate the MGM musical with songs from unforgettable movie classics, including The Wizard of Oz, Meet Me in St Louis, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, High Society, Gigi and Singin' in the Rain. Remarkably, although the original orchestral parts were lost when the studio destroyed its music library to make way for a car park, Wilson has succeeded in reconstructing the scores by painstakingly transcribing each soundtrack by ear. He is joined by starry singers from the classical and musical theatre worlds, as well as by the elite Maida Vale Singers."
