Leroy Anderson Conducts His Own Compositions

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Defining the sophisticated, whimsical sound of the mid-century 'Pops' orchestra, Leroy Anderson conducts his own instantly recognizable, highly melodic miniatures. The recordings feature brilliant, novel orchestration on tracks like 'Sleigh Ride' and 'The Syncopated Clock', blending classical string arrangements with clever percussive effects. It is a defining artifact of 1950s instrumental light music.
