New Sadlers Wells Opera Conducted
by Barry Wordsworth
Released this month (November
97) are the next two recordings from JAY of the operettas series
of recordings with the New Sadlers Wells Opera, The Merry Widow and The Count Of
Luxembourg by Franz Lehar. These two albums, recorded
in Digital, include in the casts such artists as Marilyn Hill
Smith, Eiddwen Harrhy, Ramon Remedios, Neil Jenkins and Joan Davies.
When The New Sadlers Wells Opera previewed
their new production of The Merry Widow in a new English translation
by Nigel Douglas, it was an instant hit. Therefore it is befitting
that JAY should have recorded the original cast of that production
as part of it's operettas in English, the others being; The
Count Of Luxembourg, The
Countess Maritza and Orpheus In The Underworld (coming soon).
This recording stars Opera Diva Eiddwin Harrhy
as Hanna Glawari. All the worlds favourite music is here given
new English translation; Words Forbidden, Just As The Sun Awakens,
Vilja and Off To Old Maxims.
