    This original cast recording of the 1943 revival of "A Connecticut Yankee" was thought lost. It is probably the ONLY original cast recording of a Rogers and Hart score - granted it is the revival cast. It was originally recorded on lacquered glass disks - a necessity during the war as aluminium was anavailable. This did not give the best sound quality even then. The original "glass" masters were broken shortly after a tape was made from them in the 1960s. Then this tape was lost. Luckily it was found and a resotration was made. It is amazing that the sound quality of the present CD is as good as it is. No, it is not the greatest sound, but it is clear and listenable. A listener must realize that this is a historical recording and could never come close to the recordings made in the last 10 years. Anyone interested in vintage Broadway should thank their lucky stars that this recording is now available.

    One interesting fact is that Vera Ellen is heard singing on this recording. In her Hollywood films she was always dubbed. Granted she was known primarily as a superb dancer, her voice is not bad for a dancing comic lead. But was not what Hollywood wanted.

    Lorenz Hart was one of the greates lyricist in musicals. He is at the top of his form with wonderful words for numbers like the hilarious "To Keep My Love Alive" wonderfully and slyly delivered by Vivienne Segal. There are such marvelous classic numbers as "My Heart Stood Still" and "Thou Swell". This was Hart's last show. He passed away 5 days after the revival opened. What a loss for musical theater.

    The melodies are by one of the greatest theater music talents, Richard Rogers. There has never been another writer with his gift for melody. Over and over he has shown himself to be the MASTER.

    There are 9 numbers from "Yankee". The disk is filled out with numbers from other Rogers and Hart shows - 4 from "Higher and Higher" by Shirley Ross who appeared in that show (these recordings are not "cast" recordings) and 4 from "By Jupiter" by nightclub and radio performer Hildegarde. They are interesting and give a different slant on the music from "cast" recordings.

    This is a CD for anyone interested in the history of musical theater and anyone willing to accept vintage recordings that have been very nicely remastered.
