"Before listening, I had wondered if this short-measure release (the five volumes really could have been four) was something of a mopping-up operation. Not a bit of it: "Goldilocks" is a real discovery and here is given a really dashing and sympathetic performance that should win for an overlooked show plenty of deserved new friends."

Praised by composer John Williams as 'one of the great American masters of light orchestral music', Leroy Anderson was a meticulous craftsman, a composer and arranger of many popular tunes that, once heard, are never forgotten. Volume 5 in Naxos' complete edition of his orchestral works presents highlights from his charming 1958 musical Goldilocks, which ran for 161 performances on Broadway and won two Tony awards. His Suite of Carols for Woodwind Ensemble, written three years earlier, includes both well known and less familiar Christmas tunes, each given the magical Anderson touch.
