| Thanks - I didn't know this existed till your post sent me on an internet hunt. What you have there is apparently a pirate recording of the 1960 NY City Opera production, directed by Howard da Silva (the Larry Foreman of the original Orson Welles production) and conducted by Lehman Engel. Tammy plays the Moll. Other Broadway notables in the cast include David Atknson as Larry, Ruth Kobart as Mrs. Mister, and my darling Nancy Dussault as Sister Mister. A few cuts that have turned up on YouTube suggest that it was recorded off the theatre's backstage p.a. system. The sound is pretty squawky but music & lyrics come through loud & clear. This is btw as far as I know the only recording to use Blitzstein's full orchestration. My first CRADLE was the 1964 Off-Bway production, also staged by da Silva, and conducted by Gershon Kingsley. For a while I was addicted to the Columbia original cast album: Jerry Orbach as Larry, Joe Bova and Rita Gardner as Junior and Sister Mister, Nancy Andrews as Mrs. Mister, Lauri Peters as Moll, Micki Grant as Ella Hammer, Info on your album at link below. Congrats. |
