Music Inspired By the Great Gatsby / Various
2013 two CD collection. F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic American novel has been worked and reworked by Hollywood over the decades and 2013 sees a brand new interpretation by Baz Luhrmann (Strictly Ballroom, Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge!) This brilliant set shines a spotlight on the music of the era of flapper girls, art deco and the Charleston, a decade of optimism and excitement as the world emerged from World War I, before plunging into darkness once more as World War II beckoned. Performance.
