Who doesn’t want their name up in lights?

In this “X-Factor” era, the search for fame through the myriad of television casting programmes for musicals and shows has sparked the inspiration for this album of Broadway, Hollywood and West End orchestral showstoppers.

Featuring the world Premiere recording of Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Suite from Cats, we open with New York, New York and close on One from a Chorus Line. Relish the BBC Concert Orchestra conducted by Carl Davis performing Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess and Rodger’s Carousel Waltz; more from Hair, Fiddler on the Roof and a rarity, Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story Overture. Carl Davis conducts the BBC Concert Orchestra in his own Hollywood theme.
