Those Musical Years with Marilyn Hill-Smith
Michael Wakeham LONDON THEATRE ORCHESTRA conducted by ALEXANDER FARIS
For the last of the present series 1907 is contrasted with the contemporary scene - the latter part of the 70s.
1907 - when the Emperor of Germany boarded a cross-channel steamer to visit King Edward VII and 1979 when the Queen flies thousands of miles on state visits.
1907 - when the Government refused to consider a channel tunnel on defence grounds and motor taxi cabs were legalised and 1976 when Britain and France started regular Concorde services. The range in music extends from The Merry
Widow,TomJonesand On the Road to Mandalay to Evita and the themes of popular TV series like Wings and Upstairs, Downstairs.
