Release Date: Saturday 1 July 1989
Of all the great American song-writers of the time Cole Porter was, perhaps, the most sophisticated and 'European'. In 1917 Porter moved to Paris where he kept a luxury apartment and where he gave parties for his large group of friends of varying sexualities and mores.
Porter was one of the few song-writers who wrote both the words and music for his songs, some became renowned for their bawdy originality and sophistication. Porter's songs should be listened to carefully, not only for the originality of the melodies but for the inventive and creative cleverness of the lyrics. Anything Goes, from 1934, was one of Porter's few notable Broadway successes and was the first of his musicals to star Ethel Merman, who went on to star in several other Porter shows.
This recording uses the original orchestrations of Robert Russell Bennett and Hans Spialek.
