Two great British productions of musicals on one disc, with audio restoration by the noted Alan Bunting. In Summer Song Eric Maschwitz used the music of Dvorak to tell his romantic story of two young lovers, played by Sally Ann Howes and David Hughes. The cast includes such distinguished players as Laurence Naismith as Dvorak, and a great American soubrette, Bonita Primrose. Lushly orchestrated and with attractive choral passages, this melodious score is one of the very best of the 1950s, brought to new life by Macshwitz’s lyrics. The disc also contains the original London cast recording (a real rarity) of the Broadway musical Plain and Fancy, with its well-remembered hit song ‘Young and foolish’.

With: Sally Anne Howes, David Hughes, Edric Connor
