American composer Leroy Anderson was known for his lighthearted orchestral music; many of his most popular and famous pieces are included on this archival recording from the Eastman-Rochester "Pops" Orchestra and a British orchestra, both led by Frederick Fennell. The majority of these works were recorded in Rochester, New York in March 1958 and October 1956; the London session dates back to July 1964. All performances remain highly appreciated and illuminating.

Sentimentality, romance, and a sense of humor–all of these things characterized Leroy Anderson's music, attributes that somehow went missing from much of American classical symphonic repertoire during the '50s, '60s, and '70s (except for Bernstein and a few others). And although there's always an important and enduring place for the more profound, timeless works, there's also one for music that immediately recalls the sound and sensibility of a period and effectively captures its popular mood. Anderson's music did exactly that, and if you don't respond with smiles and toe-tapping enthusiasm when you hear Horse & Buggy, Blue Tango, Summer Skies, The Girl in Satin, China Doll, or Serenata, then you are probably beyond the reach of this light-hearted but seriously entertaining fare, and are sadly disconnected from the schmaltz and slightly tacky but still delightful pleasure of The Waltzing Cat and such classics as The Typewriter, Fiddle-Faddle, The Syncopated Clock, and the still wildly popular Sleigh Ride.

Although the Boston Pops pretty much owned many of these pieces, Frederick Fennell and his Eastman-Rochester Pops (and unnamed London orchestra that plays on nearly half of these 23 tracks) did a more than respectable job, enhanced by the unsurpassed audio engineering of the Mercury Living Presence team–Wilma Cozart, Harold Lawrence, and C. Robert Fine…A treasure!
