The Tale of Hary Janos from the TV programme Music Time. Peter Ustinov narrates. Music by Kodaly. Leicestershire Schools Symphony Orchestra conducted by Stuart Johnson
"Music Time" was just one of BBC's excellent television and radio programmes for schools. My classes particularly enjoyed learning the songs to go with the radio plays. I used them a lot in the 80s and 90s. They enabled you to show children things which were then otherwise impossible in the days pre-KZitem.

It is interesting to see an English version of this, but isn’t Hary Janos usually depicted with a mustache, and Marie-Louise’s voice sounds like a dude trying to do a girl’s voice, and also the scene with the archdukes singing, Franz I of Austria had 3 sons but by 1813 (about when this play takes place) only 2 of them were living, Franz’s 3 sons were Ferdinand, who would become the Emperor of Austria after Franz’s death, Joseph Franz Leopold, who died in 1807 at the age of 8 from yellow fever, and Franz Karl, who was Franz Joseph I of Austria’s Father, and in 1813 Ferdinand was 20 years old and Franz Karl was 12.

The "dude" doing a girl's voice is, of course, the famous actor Peter Ustinov. He recorded it for Decca in 1969 with the LSO and the Hungarian conductor Istvan Kertesz. Great LP. As for the moustache - well, it's a fictional tale anyway.
