Simon Keenlyside Something's Gotta Give CD

To this day, music from classic Broadway and Hollywood musicals continues to enjoy immense popularity with audiences and performers alike. Here Simon Keenlyside,one of the world's most charismatic and sought-after operatic baritones, presents Something's Gotta Give, an album devoted to songs from musicals songs that require every bit as much attention to text and interpretation as Lieder, and often the samebr /mastery of vocal technique as operatic arias. Scarlett Strallen, a regular presence of West End and Broadway stages, partners Keenlyside in duets and sings two numbers on her own. They are joined by David Charles Abell, a musician steeped in the tradition of musical theatre, who conductsbr /the BBC Concert Orchestra in wonderfully lush original orchestral arrangements, a number of which have been specially restored for this recording._x000D_Tracklist_x000D_ol_x000D_liMartin & Blane: The Girl Next Door*/li_x000D_liKern & Hammerstein: All the Things You Are*/li_x000D_liBart & Bart: Reviewing the Situation*/li_x000D_liRodgers & Hammerstein: Soliloquy*/li_x000D_liLerner & Loewe: On the Street Where You Live*/li_x000D_liPorter & Porter: Night and Day*/li_x000D_liBock & Harnick: When Did I Fall in Love/li_x000D_liRodgers & Hammerstein: People Say Weâre Still in Love*/li_x000D_liForrest & Wright: Stranger in Paradise*/li_x000D_liRodgers & Hammerstein: Excerpts from The Bench/li_x000D_liScene from Carousel (including âIf I Loved Youâ)*/li_x000D_liRodgers & Hammerstein: Oh, What a Beautiful Morninâ*/li_x000D_liMercer & Mercer: Somethingâs Gotta Give*/li_x000D_liRodgers & Hammerstein: It Might as Well Be Spring/li_x000D_liStyne & Cahn: Itâs Magic*/li_x000D_liPorter & Porter: So in Love*/li_x000D_liHarnick & Bock: If I Were a Rich Man*/li_x000D_/ol_x000D_Simon Keenlyside (baritone)*br /Scarlett Strallen (soprano)br /BBC Concert Orchestrabr /David Charles Abell_x000D__x000D_Â
