Comments and Reviews

xiphophilos 18th Mar 2017		An mp3 of the entire performance is available at: https://ia902509.us.archive.org/7/items/MR.PICKWICKSCHRISTMAS-NewTransfer/MR.%20PICKWICK%27S%20CHRISTMAS.mp3 Composer and director Hanns Eisler is probably best known for writing the music for the anthem of the former German Democratic Republic. A refugee from Hitler's Germany, he composed the music for eight Hollywood films, including "Hangmen Also Die" and "None But The Lonely Heart", and a number of documentaries. In addition, he also wrote the background music for this and another Decca record (23365) with Christmas texts read by Charles Laughton.
