For La Clemenza di Tito, Glyndebourne Festival Opera commissioned from Stephen Oliver a number of new recitaties, which performed for the first time for this production and feature on this recording. Sung by renowned English and international stars of the stage – including Philip Langridge as Tito, Ashley Putnam as Vitellia and Diana Montague as Sesto – and conducted by Andrew Davis, it was, in particular, the elegant, neo-classic staging by Nicholas Hytner (designed by David Fielding) which made this performance series from the summer of 1991 the sensation it was. National and international critics alike were unanimous in their praise for this genuine opera hit of the nineties.

March of The Wooden SoldiersStannie Dum (Stan Laurel) and Ollie Dee (Oliver Hardy) are well-meaning but brainless toymakers in Toyland. They misinterpret an order from Santa Claus for 600 one foot high toy soldiers and come up instead with 100 six foot high soldiers. But their toy army comes in handy when the evil Barnaby (Henry Brandon) and his furry bogeymen invade Toyland, and the boys end up as heroes when they save the Widow Peep’s daughter Bo (Charlotte Henry) from his clutches. This priceless nine reel comedy from veteran Laurel and Hardy producer Hal Roach, was the personal favourite of Oliver Hardy. Better known as ‘Babes in Toyland’, the film was the best of their feature-length operettas and certainly had the most lavish fantasy sets. It was rarely seen in public after a poor Walt Disney remake in 1961 and, when it was shown, the censors had often butchered it.TV stations considered some scenes in Bogey-land too grim for young children and snipped them out. Early cinema screenings were often without some of the film’s charming songs because it was thought that people would only want to see Laural and Hardy going through their comedy paces. Roach originally wanted Laural and Hardy to play Simple Simon and The Pie Man, parts they did in fact ‘play’ in a 1938 Walt Disney cartoon – ‘Mother Goose Goes To Hollywood’ – which was nominated for an Academy Award. Brooklyn-born Charlotte Henry, a popular child star of the 1930s and the star of the 1933 film ‘Alice in Wonderland’, has the lead role of Bo Peep.Bogus BanditsOllie and Stan play Olio and Stanlio, a pair of incompetent bandits who are hired as menservants to Fra Diavolo (The Devil’s Brother), a real bandit played by Dennis King who, in his other guise, is known as the Marquis de San Marco – an aristocrat who uses his position to discover the whereabouts of the treasures worn bythe ladies in high society.This film set a popular style which was subsequently seen in such films as ‘Zorro’, ‘The Scarlet Pimpernel’ and countless others. It has a pattern which was followed in ‘Babes in Toyland’ (1934) and ‘The Bohemian Girl’ (1936), and contains some superb sequences. The story was well chosen by Hal Roach as a good vehicle for Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy although it is not one of their major performances; the music can sometimes interfere with the Laurel and Hardy humour but the drinking scene confirms their combined genius and is outstanding. Originally called ‘Fra Diavolo’, this film is based on the 1830 comic operetta of that name by Daniel F Auber. The film was subsequently called ‘The Devil’s Brother’, ‘Bogus Bandits’ and ‘Virtuous Tramps’.
