I LOVE PARIS - MICHEL LEGRAND (Album,minus Autumn Leaves}

UnclaimedFr8 2020-06-27 | Michel Legrand (1932-2019) was only 22 when he created this best-selling album, utilizing fifteen Paris-themed melodies. The songs are engagingly woven together, creating a musical tapestry, so that one blends into the next. This comprises a suite, easily listenable as a whole. Released in 1954, this album went on to sell over 8 million copies. It was one of the monthly offerings of the early Columbia Record Club--(that's how I got my first copy, long since worn out).

Note: Due to copyright claim, the song 'Autumn Leaves' is not included in this posting.

SONG LISTING:
I Love Paris
Mademoiselle De Paris
Paris
Under The Bridges Of Paris
La Seine
Paris In The Spring
Paris Canaille
April In Paris
Á Paris
La Vie En Rose

THESPIS (Ballet) - G&S - DOyly Carte - 1991

UnclaimedFr8 2017-06-30 | "I want more!" That was my reaction upon first listening to this captivating ballet suite. Rescued from oblivion, researchers Roderick Spencer and Selwyn Tillett in 1990 were able to compile remaining themes. Thespis ("The Gods Grown Old") was first produced in 1871. The ballet is present in Act 2. Of the five themes, only the Waltz is unique to Thespis. There is, of course, much more to the detective story, but is beyond the scope of this discussion. I hope you enjoy this all too brief bit of deliciousness.

H.M.S. PINAFORE, Act 2 (Corrected) - G&S - DOyly Carte - VINYL, 1960

UnclaimedFr8 2017-05-24 | ***Please note: This is a re-posting, with Right and Left channels correctly oriented.***

"A common sailor? Oh, fie!" Straight from the vinyl of this stellar 1960 recording, Captain Corcoran's words still amuse. 'Pinafore' was the first of Gilbert & Sullivan's successes, and is the third of Gilbert & Sullivan's 'Savoy' operas, preceded by 'Trial By Jury' and 'The Sorcerer'. It opened on May 25th, 1878 at London's Opera Comique Theatre, and ran for 571 performances. Hugely successful, it is popular to this day. Gilbert's satiric wit adroitly pierced institutions and attitudes, while Sullivan's luminous music is--well, ageless.

H.M.S. PINAFORE, Act 1 (Corrected) - G&S - DOyly Carte - VINYL, 1960

UnclaimedFr8 2017-05-24 | ***Please note: This is a re-posting, with Right and Left channels correctly oriented.***

"A common sailor? Oh, fie!" Straight from the vinyl of this stellar 1960 recording, Captain Corcoran's words still amuse. 'Pinafore' was the first of Gilbert & Sullivan's successes, and is the third of Gilbert & Sullivan's 'Savoy' operas, preceded by 'Trial By Jury' and 'The Sorcerer'. It opened on May 25th, 1878 at London's Opera Comique Theatre, and ran for 571 performances. Hugely successful, it is popular to this day. Gilbert's satiric wit adroitly pierced institutions and attitudes, while Sullivan's luminous music is--well, ageless.

Patience (Act 2) - G&S - Opera Australia (1995, Live)

UnclaimedFr8 2016-07-29 | This Opera Australia production of 'Patience', by Gilbert & Sullivan, was recorded live at the Sydney Opera House, February 28, 1995. This audio reproduction is taken from the ABC DVD, distributed by Kultur.com, #D4317. It is for educational and entertainment purposes only. I own no rights here. (But the DVD is mine).

Patience was the sixth collaboration between Gilbert and Sullivan. It opened at the Opera Comique, London, on April 23, 1881. In October of that year, it moved to the Savoy Theater, where it was the first theatrical production ever to be lit entirely by electric light. From then on, the G&S operettas would be known as the 'Savoy Operas', and both fans and performers of Gilbert and Sullivan would come to be known as "Savoyards".
'Patience' satirizes the 'aesthetic movement' of the 1870s and '80s in England.

The Pirates of Penzance, the fifth opera of Gilbert and Sullivan's collaboration, opened simultaneously in England and America. The opera premiered on December 31, 1879 at the Fifth Avenue Theater in New York with Sullivan conducting, but a single performance had been given on the previous day at the Royal Bijou Theatre, Paignton, England, to secure the British copyright. Finally, the opera opened on April 3, 1880, at the Opéra Comique in London, where it ran for 363 performances, having already been playing successfully for over three months in New York.
