ANNA RUSSELL: CROWN PRINCESS OF MUSICAL PARODY

Overview

When London-born performer Anna Russell decided to combine her well-oiled comedic timing with her classical training as a lyric soprano, she quickly earned the moniker "Crown Princess of Musical Parody." This collection of Russell's television appearances from 1964, 1976 and 1977 includes interviews, renditions of classical and rock 'n' roll songs and sidesplitting routines on the bagpipe and French horn.
