Chandos Records announce the release of the world première recording of the Complete Original Score of Rodgers & Hammerstein's Oklahoma! from John Wilson and Sinfonia of London. Released to coincide with the 80th anniversary of the work's première performance, this is the first recording of the entire score in its original orchestration.
'Rodgers & Hammerstein's Oklahoma! is often cited as the seminal work in the history of the musical - the piece which took us from musical comedy to integrated musical theatre where narrative and characters were developed through song and dance. It is astonishing that we have had to wait 80 years for a complete, Overture to Exit Music recording - but here it is: Robert Russell Bennett's original orchestrations beautifully restored by Bruce Pomahac, with every last instrumental detail intact. To my ears, this great masterpiece in its original instrumental clothing sounds as fresh as the day it was written.' - John Wilson
