UP IN CENTRAL PARK was a 1945 operetta about the creation of New York's famed park. The score was by Sigmund Romberg (who had 4 big hits in the 1920s: BLOSSOM TIME, THE STUDENT PRINCE, THE DEDERT SONG and THE NEW MOON) and CENTRAL PARK would be his last Broadway hit. Decca recorded the cast album...sort of. They preserved 8 songs using the show's chorus and orchestra and two of the show's stars: Wilbur Evans and Betty Bruce. To sing the other roles they used Eileen Farrell (for voice) and Celeste Holm (for the Broadway belt.) The big hit from the show was the romantic duet "Close as Pages in a Book" but the gem is the comic number "The Fireman's Bride" sung here by Ms. Holm. Eileen Farrell shines in her two solos, "Carousel in the Park" and the lovely, obscure "April Snow." Wilbur Evans uses his big voice to effect decribing Central park as "The Big Back Yard of the City." Decca transferred seven of these eight selections to LP in 1950 but that album has been long out-of-print. The Cd features a delightful reproduction of the original 78 RPM album cover. Sound is good, crisp and clear. A plot synopsis is included as well as background notes on the production.
