“I’m actively searching for the orchestration of the piece ‘I’m Just a Sentimental Fool’ by Sigmund Romberg. Does anyone have a lead on where to find it? Thank you very much.”

I’ve written an article on the ways that singers have changed the lyrics of this operetta’s two most famous songs:

Does anyone know if either the original New York Philippe (William O’Neal) or the original London Philippe (Ben Williams) recorded “Softly, As In a Morning Sunrise”?

I very much enjoyed Tibbett and Moore (I used to have a copy of her film of the opera “Louise”). “Wanting you”bore some resemblance to the original number.

We need modern complete recordings with the composer’s arrangements.or arrangements of the composer’s period.
