...The Songs of Noel Coward
Pet Shop Boys lead singer, songwriter and composer Neil Tennant presents a series of programmes about Noel Coward.
1/3. Songs poured out of Coward, over 400 of them and from the 1920s to the 1960s they filled his revues and musicals. Tennant talks to fellow performers and enthusiasts about the enormous range of Coward's work 鈥� tender love songs, yearning melodies, sharp lyrics and skilful wordplay.
Coward's own performances make the songs particularly his own, but Tennant also presents versions by today's singers and bands, and talks to those who recognise his influence as one of the greats of British musical theatre.
