Stanley Black Conducting The London Festival Orchestra and Chorus Broadway Spectacular [1966]



London Phase 4 Stereo Spectacular Records SP 44071

"In treating these numbers, Stanley Black specialized his approach, thinking of the arrangements, not only in terms of the selection itself, but of what the number meant in terms of the show, where he could through the form of the arrangement point the mood of the entire scorer, so that in the "Oklahoma" selection, for example, we get more than just a medley of great tunes, we get the flavor of the production; one can smell the grass and feel the breeze; one can see straw hats, dungarees and boots; one can touch the surrey."

Tracklist:
01 Oklahoma Medley
02 Bali Ha'i
03 Hello, Dolly!
04 People
05 The Carousel Waltz
06 Fiddler On The Roof
07 Ol' Man River
08 Seventy-Six Trombones
09 Baubles, Bangles and Beads
10 Slaughter On Tenth Avenue
