5.0 out of 5 stars Review of Americans in London, March 9, 2006

By 

Mr. William T. Whitfield (Corby) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Americans In London 1947 - 1951: Original London Cast Recordings From Oklahoma! (1947) / Annie Get Your Gun (1947) / Carousel (1950) / Zip Goes A Million (1951) (Audio CD)

The recording is excellent and replaces my old 78 recordings which I transferred to tape some years ago. But they have that horrible hissing noise which spoils my enjoyment of them.
It is to be observed that although the cast is American, the orchestras and conductors are British (except for Debroy Sommers). I know qite a bot about Deboy Sommers and Lew Stone, but can anyone fill me in about Reginald Burston?
The CD is great. Thank you to Amazon for this.
