Candide
Complete performance
Against the backdrop of McCarthy's witch hunts in the 1950s, Leonard Bernstein and playwright Lillian Hellman found inspiration in Voltaire's satirical novella Candide, set in 18th century France, which seemed to parody their own turbulent times.
This concert performance with a star-studded cast led by Sir Thomas Allen, with Michael Slattery as Candide and Carla Huhtanen as Cunegonde, was recorded earlier this year in the Royal Festival Hall, London.
Presented by Tommy Pearson with Humphrey Burton.
