Product Description
CD95373 Kern & Hammerstein's Music in the Air (Munsel, Reardon, Luke
Here is a concert version of Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II's MUSIC IN THE AIR. This was produced by the New Amsterdam Theatre Company at Town Hall in New York on April 21 and 22, 1985. The original orchestrations by Robert Russell Bennett were used. I believe this recording was made on April 21.
John Reardon (Bruno Mahler), Patrice Munsel (Frieda Hatzfeld), Rebecca Luker (Sieglinde Lessing), Christopher Wells (Karl Reder), Edmund Lyndeck (Ernst Weber), Louis Beachner (Dr. Walther Lessing), Kurt Peterson (Cornelius), Muriel Costa-Greenspon (Herr Direktor Lilli Kirschner), I.M. Hobson (Uppmann), Mia Dillon (Hulde), E. G. Marshall (Narrator/Burgomaster). Conducted by Michael Battistelli.
My understanding is that this is an archival recording of the concert, made by the New Amsterdam Theatre Company, recorded by microphones set up onstage specifically for that purpose. The volume level varies widely depending on how close a performer was to the (probably) two or three microphones onstage.

We sell only opera recordings. The recordings are sent to you in paper sleeves with no tray card or inserts, just the raw discs with printed labels. These recordings are of nonprofessional quality that are in the public domain. The quality of these old opera recordings is not very good and they are meant for collectors and educational purposes only. Most of them are 30 or 40 years old, so they might be blurry, colors faded, and not sound very good, but they might not be available elsewhere. Please note that most of our recordings do not have tracks, they have 1 long track per disc.
