Columbia 935 Opera
The London Symphony Orchestra under Rutland Boughton performs the Love Duet and Faery Chorus from Boughton's opera The Immortal Hour on Columbia 935. The Immortal Hour had a celebrated West End run in the early 1920s and Boughton was a significant if eccentric figure in British musical nationalism. Columbia 935 is a low catalogue number, suggesting an early electrical or late acoustic pressing, and this is a historically interesting document of an unusual British operatic work.AI summary
