John Wilson and his hand-picked singers and eponymous orchestra present a sparkling collection of the songs of Cole Porter, featured in such Hollywood classics as Kiss Me, Kate; High Society; Can-Can; Silk Stockings; and other films from the golden age of musicals. With vocalists Anna-Jane Casey, Kim Criswell, Matthew Ford, Sarah Fox, and Richard Morrison, backed by the Maida Vale Singers, Wilson aims to re-create the songs as they were originally heard, in many cases using reconstructions of the music by himself, Andrew Cottee, and Paul Campbell, as well as existing arrangements. Not only is this an entertaining album of Porter's most memorable songs, offered in a spirit of fun, but it is a valuable act of preservation, because many of the original scores and parts have been lost. Thanks to Wilson and his colleagues, these performances have the vintage appeal and wit of the movie versions, as well as the vitality and personalities of the present artists.
