| Following the great success of 'The Red Shoes', it was Sir Thomas Beecham, ever an enthusiast for Hoffman, who approached the mighty duo of Powell and pressburger with the idea of a film of this most popular of light operas. This recording was used for the film, famous for its balletic pairing of Moira Shearer and Robert Helpmann (who appear on the cover of the booklet). Cast and conductor provide a freshness and magic to the score perhaps unequalled since: Monica Sinclair, robert Rounseville, Bruce Dargavel, Owen Brannigan, Marherita Grandi, Murray Dickie, with the RPO and Sadler's Wells Chorus, cond. Sir Thomas Beecham. | |||||
