Notes
Recorded 10 - 11 September 1957 at Watford Town Hall, London.This is one of the RCA Living Stereos that have been recorded by the Decca team in Europe. Antole Fistoulari conducts the Royal Opera House Orchestra, Covent Garden performing Sir William Walton's Façade and Charles Alexandre Lecocq's Mamzelle Angot.
Both of these orchestral works were arrangements for London's Royal Ballet - Facade, by Walton, from his original "Entertainment for spoken voice and chamber group" and Lecocq's Mamzelle Angot operetta arranged by reliable English pedagogue, Gordon Jacobs. Both pieces are just what the doctor ordered and are served sparkling and frothy, with style and grace. The ebullient scores offer a glimpse of what comedic ballet evenings at the Garden are like.
The Royal Opera Orchestra knows their way around these scores, this amply demonstrated by the group's secure ensemble and superb soloists. Conductor Anatole Fistoulari allows the music to unfold naturally and gives the vaudevillian-inspired scores their head. Here you will find music making of the utmost happiness.
