Something's Gotta Give

• Something's gotta give-Broadway Musicals

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 worlds most charismatic and sought-after operatic baritones, presents Somethings 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 same mastery of vocal technique as operatic arias. Scarlett Strallen, a regular presence on West End and Broadway stages, partners Keenlyside in duets and sings two numbers on her own. They are joined by David Charles Abell conducting the BBC Concert Orchestra in original orchestral arrangements, a number of which have been specially restored for this recording.
