Anthony Burgess wrote his own film script for A Clockwork Orange, the notorious 1962 novel brimming with ultra-violence joyfully committed by youths fuelled by drencom, willful amorality and the music of Beethoven. Stanley Kubrick discarded Burgess' screenplay, favouring his own rather operatic version. A Clockwork Operetta is a cabaret-style setting of the original Burgess songs from various parts of the screenplay.
Also featured on this disc are two chamber pieces – “American Terpsichore” and “Angels and Fireflies” (recorder version), and another cabaret song set “The Radio Song”.
