Description
|
|
|
|
London's smash hit of 1917, The Maid of the Mountains produced a slew of memorable numbers, the most famous of which are "Husbands and wives," "A paradise for two," "A bachelor gay" ("At 17 he falls in love quite madly"), and "Love will find a way" ("Whate’er befall, I still recall that sunlit mountainside, where hearts are true, and skies are blue, and love's the only guide"). "Janis Kelly and Christopher Maltman sing the romantic leads with the right clear-eyed sentiment, and Richard Stuart and Sally Burgess provide expert comic relief. The whole affair is piloted with style and affection by Ronald Corp, Hyperion's light music guru. Wicked!"—BBC Music "Corp has brought a sense of a spontaneous stage performance, with an ideal interaction between the characters. For Anglophiles, and particularly those who enjoy G & S operettas, this disc is an absolute necessity you cannot afford to miss."—Fanfare
