The Art of Leroy Anderson

The most definitive tribute to the art of Leroy Anderson. An effective and fascinating retrospective of this gifted easy-listening/classical-pop composer, arranger and conductor.

Includes Goldilocks, the only musical Anderson has written the music for, featuring the original Broadway cast: Elaine Stritch, Don Ameche, Russell Nype, Margaret Hamilton, Pat Stanley.

John Williams, composer (Star Wars, Harry Potter), said: "Anderson's music remains as young and fresh as the very day on which it was composed."
