Gay's the word (On such a night as this)

Available for over a year

This is a song from Ivor Novello's 1951 production 'Gays The Word', his last musical before he died a month after it opened in London. 'On Such A Night As This' is your typical romantic song; all passion and innocence, lyrics about the moon and the stars, and a mezzo-soprano singing into the night's sky in full vibrato. Composer: Ivor Novello Performer: Kitty Whately (Mezzo) Performer: Simon Lepper (Piano) Recording date: 26 January 2016 Date of broadcast: 30 December 2016
