Swan Esther / O.S.T. Swan Esther / O.S.T. CD

SWAN ESTHER is a musical retelling of the biblical story of Esther, the Jewish queen of the Persian King Ahasuerus. The musical was the brainchild of legendary theatre producer David Land in a bid to replicate the earlier success he had achieved with Joseph And the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Featuring an upbeat and memorable score by Nick Munns and J. Edward Oliver, the musical was first recorded as a concept album in February 1983.
