Kennern des Musicals dürfte Robert Russell Bennett (1894-1981) als brillanter Orchestrator der unsterblichen Melodien von Gershwin, Porter, Kern und anderen Größen des Goldenen Broadway-Zeitalters ein Begriff sein. Hier ist er als Komponist schmissiger Musik für Bläserensemble zu entdecken. Das Royal Northern College of Music Wind Orchestra unterstreicht hier seine Rang als britisches Spitzenensemble.
