THE STUDENT PRINCE recaptures the magical mood of musical theater
from a bygone age. Where today’s musicals may deal with down
to earth realities and social problems, THE STUDENT PRINCE was
all bittersweetness and joy. It was however right for it’s
time. Romberg’s recreation of the star crossed love of a
handsome prince and a beautiful waitress had great escapist appeal
when it was first staged in 1924. Unashamedly sentimental and
full of unforgettable melodies, some tender, others rousing, THE
STUDENT PRINCE closely resembles the 19th century operetta. Yet
it still appeals to modern audiences.
This was the very first complete recording of THE STUDENT PRINCE
in it’s intended theatrical setting and orchestrations including
much previously unrecorded material.
Some of the finest talents from British opera and the West End
were gathered for this historic recording: Norman Bailey, one
of Britain’s most distinguished bass baritones; Marilyn Hill
Smith, the much loved soprano for her singularity and versatility
in both opera and operetta; the internationally acclaimed tenor,
David Rendall; and Diana Montague, darling of Vienna and New York’s
Met.
The supporting cast is equally star studded, including such operatic
luminaries as Donald Maxwell, Jason Howard, Bonaventura Bottone,
Steven Page and Neil Jenkins. From the West End they are joined
by Rosemary Ashe, Maria Friedman, Leon Greene, Lisa Hull, Grannia
Reniham and Gay Soper.
