About The Record:
The Greatest Moments Of No, No, Nanette & The Gypsy Baron (12" Single) by Reader's Digest features highlights from the American musical No, No, Nanette by Vincent Youmans and the operetta The Gypsy Baron (Der Zigeunerbaron) by Johann Strauss Jr., performed by vocalists including Jeanette Scovotti, William Lewis, John Hauxvell, Bryan Johnson, and Rosalind Elias. This 12" vinyl release serves as a compilation disc offering condensed suites or key excerpts from each work, blending light-hearted Broadway tunes with Viennese operetta charm in a format typical of Reader's Digest's accessible classical and musical theater collections. Unique aspects include the pairing of an early 20th-century American show with a classic 19th-century European operetta on a single disc, and adaptations like new English lyrics by Mel Mandel and Norman Sachs for the Strauss pieces to make them more approachable for English-speaking audiences. Popular selections likely feature fan-favorites such as Tea for Two and I Want to Be Happy from No, No, Nanette, alongside highlights like the overture and spirited gypsy-themed numbers from The Gypsy Baron. No hit singles or chart positions are associated with this release.
