Label-Information:
The song-writing team of Alan J. Lerner and Frederick Loewe was one of the finest to come out of Tin Pan Alley, being responsible for some of the greatest musical comedy scores that ever graced Broadway and Hollywood. Flare is proud to present this tribute to the team, recorded in the late nineteen-fifties. A magical tribute, it stars Robert Merrill and Jan Peerce - both from New York’s Metropolitan Opera - Jane Powell – one of Hollywood’s all-time favourite sopranos - and much-loved character-singer Phil Harris. With a sixty piece orchestra under the direction of Johnny Green, the tribute presents gems from the scores of Brigadoon, Paint Your Wagon, My Fair Lady and Gigi. Plus bonus tracks.
