Kismet

BBC Radio 2
on BBC Radio 2

Julia Migenes stars in the fourth of Radio 2's series of Broadway musicals, the 1953 classic score by Robert Wright and George Forrest, based on themes of Alexander Borodin.
Kismet was subtitled "a musical Arabian night" and that it very much is with its setting in ancient Baghdad and its plot of romance and intrigue.

With the Stephen Hill Singers and the BBC Concert Orchestra conducted by Kenneth Alwyn
