A tribute to composers whose melodies in the past twenty-five years have enriched the world of musical comedy and operetta
Introduced by Eric Maschwitz and ' The First-Nighter '
Written by Gale Pedrick
10-The music of Jerome Kern , Noel Coward
Franz Lehar , Sigmund Romberg with Billie Baker , Lucille Graham
Bruce Trent , Dudley Rolph
Jan van der Gucht
BBC Chorus
(Chorus-Master, Leslie Woodgate )
BBC Concert Orchestra
(Leader, John Sharpe )
Conductor, Gilbert Vinter
Produced by Michael North
' Nights of Gladness as first planned was to have lasted nine weeks — with equal air-time being devoted to the work of British, American, and Continental composers of theatre music. Listeners gave the series such a spontaneous welcome and the framework proved such an ideal means of showing the Concert Orchestra's quality, that the programmes will now continue well into March. One happy result is that the First-Nighter, who introduces the programmes with Kric Maschwitz, can now survey a much wider field and can return again to composers who deserve more than one isolated mention. It has been impossible, for ins-tance, so far to do full justice to Noel Coward or to Jerome Kern, so in tonigint's programme we are to be reminded of ' Conversation Piece ' in which the enchanting Yvonne Printempt played in English for rhe first time; and Kern's' Sunny.' We hear also music from Lelhar's Frederica,' which brought the international tenor, Joseph Hislop , back to his native Britain, and in which we welcomed a new star-Lea Seidl.
