Great find, Graham! I've found some more information at Amazon.co.uk, including the album cover. It's even cheaper if you pre-order it from HMV. I hope to add this CD to my collection on Monday. I've changed the thread title and moved it to the Other Albums sub-board. Richard

Hi Graham and Richard and everyone, great work there! I'm surprised that this seems to have been released so suddenly and with so little notice - it's listed in the Naxos.com future release list for October!
Naxos.com/uk contains the following details:
The write-up seems to imply that the CD was produced from the live performance and not as a studio recording... can any of the original concert-goers enlighten us on this point?
Cheers, Dave

The write-up seems to imply that the CD was produced from the live performance and not in the studio... I wonder if it was, does anyone know? Hi Dave I hope you're right! It was a wonderful performance, and deserves to be heard live. There hasn't been any obvious report of Hayley going back into the studio to record her part either has there? We'll have to wait and see unless Roger knows differently! Best wishes Grant

Hi Dave, Hayley sang only one song in the concert, namely the title track. She didn't sing 'Ellie's Song' or 'Pleading with the Developer'. I have tried to read the small print on the back of the album seen in Graham's post. I can't be sure but I don't think it says where it was recorded but I think it says "Disc made in Canada. Printed and [something] in USA". That doesn't necessarily mean it was recorded there, of course. Make of that what you will! Roger

On second thoughts having read what I wrote at the time... At approximately twenty minutes in, Hayley sang two verses of the song 'Different Voices', and a further two verses some twenty minutes later, both tying in with the story, of course. Near the end, she sang the last two verses, this time with a final coda. ... I wonder if that is what appears on the CD but they have given the three sections three different song titles. Their relative position on the song list seems to tie in with the timing that I mentioned. Also, wasn't there two performances of this event? Something like 2pm and 4pm? One reason for that might be to ensure a perfect version of every song for eventual release on CD. I was doubtful at first but I am now inclined to think this is the recording of the Cadogan Hall concert. Roger

. Stephen Fry narrated the story. The programme was recorded for future release on CD! Hello everyone Strangely enough, I nearly said that I thought we had been asked to keep clapping to appropriate places because the concert was being recorded, but then I thought I might have been confusing it with something else! Obviously not!! As a certain member would say.. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!Best wishes Grant

Hi All & Thank you. I await now both Different Voices & River of Dreams Best of. I've always loved Young Persons Guide to the Orchestra with Peter & the Wolf. Am looking forward to the Steven Fry - Hayley W. - Debbie Wiseman production very much. Graeme

Hi Graham,
Had you heard Benjamin Britten's, "The Young Peoples Guide To The Orchestra"? I first heard it at the University some fifty years ago. It's very good. Also Saint-Saens, 'Carnival of the Animals" was a great intro to the orchestra. Although I'm not sure it was written for that purpose.
Be Well
Larry
