Arc de Triomphe (Easy to live with)

Experience Classical

Available for over a year

This light and sentimental song is from one of Novello's lesser known plays 'Arc de Triomphe' (1943) which tells the story of a singer trying to navigate the ups and downs of a career in opera. 'Easy to live with' is full of innocent romance with a saccharine-sweet melody, an optimistic song of loyalty and love. Composer: Ivor Novello Performer: Kitty Whately (Mezzo) Performer: Simon Lepper (Piano) Recording date: 26 January 2016 Date of broadcast: 29 December 2016
