JAY Records have collected together an extravagant set of Waltzes for this album. As well as the evocative title waltz, the selection varies from the very traditional – THE MERRY WIDOW WALTZ or THE STUDENT PRINCE WALTZ – to the very modern NIGHT WALTZ from "A Little Night Music" or PARIS WALTZ from "Candide". There is certain to be a number of favourites for everyone in these specially selected pieces; the EMBASSY WALTZ from "My Fair Lady" the WALTZ AT MIXIM’S from "Gigi", the WALTZ from "Bittersweet".

A number of the finest orchestras have contributed to the making of this collection, including The Philharmonia and The National Symphony Orchestra as well as such fine ‘opera’ orchestra’s as the Scottish Opera and New Sadlers Wells.

Carousel Waltz and Other Waltzes From The Musical Theatre is a worthy addition to the collections of those who follow the releases of JAY Records and a rewarding introduction for those new to the label.
