Description

Following the success of last year's release of Rodgers & Hammerstein's "Oklahoma", John Wilson and Sinfonia of London now turn to Rodgers & Hammerstein's "Carousel". As with the previous release in this series, this world premiere of the complete score contains every note of the music that was played at the original Broadway production, here in the full 35-part orchestration created by Don Walker for the original production. The outstanding cast, led by Nathaniel Hackmann (Billy Bigelow), Mikaela Bennett (Julie Jordan), Sierra Boggess (Carrie Pipperidge), and Julian Ovenden (Enoch Snow), also includes Francesca Chiejina (Nettie Fowler) and David Seadon-Young (Jigger Craigin). The extensive choral material is sung by the Carousel Ensemble - 24 young singers currently working on the stages of London's West End. John Wilson comments: "Carousel is the greatest achievement of Rodgers & Hammerstein. Rodgers managed to create a score with operatic ambitions and dimensions. Everything in the score serves a dramatic purpose. Even in the dense musical texture you can hear orchestral effects intended to underscore the emotions of the drama, whether it be unease or joy or whatever. The drama is further enhanced by what happens in the music."

Rodgers & Hammerstein's "Carousel" was recorded in Surround Sound and Dolby Atmos and will be available on Hybrid SACD and in Spatial Audio.
