Blue Tango -- A Leroy Anderson Centennial Celebration
Volume One
5/80 Wurlitzer Theatre Pipe Organ
Jasper & Marian Sanfilippo Residence
Barrington, Illinois
Leroy Anderson (1908-1975), composer of timeless hits such as Sleigh Ride, Blue Tango, and The Syncopated
Clock, was one of the most important and prolific composers of instrumental music of the 20th century. In honor of Anderson's
centennial year, RJE Productions is pleased to present a two-volume release of the nearly complete works of
Leroy Anderson.
Blue Tango and its companion disc Sleigh Ride contain
50 compositions and over 2 1/2 hours of Anderson classics, making these discs the most
comprehensive collection of Leroy Anderson's music ever recorded - and the only such collection performed on the theatre pipe organ!
In addition, and by special permission of the Anderson family, this disc contains the world-premiere
recording of Easter Song -- a recently discovered unpublished composition that Leroy Anderson wrote
specifically for the organ.
