Composer of the Week: Jerome Kern: The London Connection

on BBC Radio 3

Presented by Adrian Edwards.

During the first decade of this century, Kern learnt his art as a songwriter composing for the New York and London stages.
In England he met his wife, Eva, and also P.G. Wodehouse, with whom he forged an intimate new style of American musical culminating in "Sitting Pretty," one of his most joyful and unjustly neglected scores. Excerpts are sung by Judy Blazer,
Jason Grade, Paige O'Hara and Roberta Peters.
