This lavish studio reconstruction of the original score was lovingly and thoroughly put together by John McGlinn, who brought in such opera singers as Frederica von Stade and Jerry Hadley, backed by The London Sinfonietta, and is the most exhaustive rendering of perhaps the most important American musical of the 20th century.
'This is a remarkable, inspired achievement, as significant for committing the American musical to disc as the Solti Ring was for opera 50 years ago. The performance and recording are quite magnificent and quite irresistible.'
(The Gramophone)
The extraordinary success of this recording derived above all from the dedication and enthusiasm of the conductor John McGlinn, whose devotion to the Broadway musical of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s has been a lifelong mission. As curator of the composer's manuscripts, McGlinn was uniquely placed to plan and execute a recording that would reflect the real stature of Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein's masterpiece.
