Four Alice Comedies Music Written For Walt Disney [LP], Paul Dessau / Zimmer,Hanes E. / Sinfonietta,Rias, Vinyl

The Alice Comedies are a series of Animated/live-action shorts created by Walt Disney in the 1920s, in which a live action little girl named Alice (originally played by Virginia Davis) and an animated cat named Julius have adventures in an animated landscape. The Magic Clock is a whirlwind mishmash of motifs that 1 draws on an unusually wide range of sources: Hoffman's The Nutcracker and medieval romances working cheek by jowl with Arabian Nights, Ovid, Midsummer Night's Dream, Peter Pan, Mallarme's 'Afternoon of a Faun,' and Novalis' blue flower. Paul Dessau was a German composer and conductor. He composed operas, scenic plays, incidental music, ballets, symphonies and other works for orchestra, and pieces for solo instruments as well as vocal music. The music is conducted and produced by Hans E. Zimmer, who conducted an extensive repertoire including Die Zauberflote, Le Nozze di Figaro, Euryanthe, Jenufa, Ariadne auf Naxos, Salome, Der Rosenkavalier, Der Friedenstag, Die Meister-singer von Nurnberg, Lohengrin.
