Decca Broadway, 2002 The Desert Song/The New Moon I have loved the music of The Desert Song since I first saw it, starring Dennis Morgan, in the cinema many, many years ago, and then the Gordeon McCrae version on TV. I think the Dennis Morgan one was better, or perhaps I may be prejudiced as I have an unfortunate ...             Jessye Norman Collection Stephen Adams, Anonymous, ... Philips, 1990             Carousel (1994 Broadway Revival Cast) Michael Hayden, Richard Rodgers, ... Angel Records, 1994 An American Masterpiece, Great Recording MUCH better than the 93 London cast recording! Rodgers and Hammerstein were so superior to any composers of the 40' and 50' (with the exception of Lerner and Lowe perhaps), they should be in their own category of music. Carousel holds up as one of the 4 or 5 greatest ...             Diva!: A Soprano at the Movies Georges Bizet, Joseph Marie Canteloube, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1996 Superb matchmaking in Terfel's R&H recital You might think that it is a very superflous mismatch for an opera singer to try his vocal cords on the Broadway songs of Rodgers & Hammerstein. However, in this R&H offering by Bryn Terfel, he proves that it is a perfect match between singer and repertoire for a ...             Nicolai Ghiaurov Nicolai Ghiaurov, Georges Bizet, ... Decca, 2002 Pure Enjoyment Ghiaurov, who is unfortunately already deceased, is undoubtedly one of the most gifted vocal performers of the 20th century.

Hyperion UK, 1997 A Spectrum of Romance in American Musical Composition Often American music is thought to be jaunty, combative, or tragic in content, especially when it comes to songs/lieder for the classical repertoire. This engaging CD takes umbrage with that misconception and in presenting some twenty-eight songs by various composers ...             Oklahoma! Broadway (1979 Broadway Revival Cast) Oscar Hammerstein II, Christine Andreas, ... RCA Victor Broadway, 1990 Makes me want to dance on top of a hay stack. My grandparents once took me to see this musical in central Oklahoma at an outdoor production. I was a fan from that moment on. The music here accentuates the greatness that is the American musical in ways that will make you feel happier for having listened to it. I ...             The Sound of Music (1959 Original Broadway Cast) Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein II, ... Sony, 1998 I love this 'Sound of Music'....... Though, I saw SOUND OF MUSIC on film at an early age, I also heard the original Broadway Cast recording, with Mary Martin and Theodore Bikel, as a young person, too. Mary Martin has a great stage presence and was a wonderful singer, in my opinion, and she is nothing ...             Flower Drum Song (1958 Original Broadway Cast) Richard Rodgers, Anita Allis, ... Sony, 1999 A very fine score The first instinct is to lump this with flops like "Allegro" thanks to its trouble-plagued casting and staging; but all things told (not least of which R&H's hospital stays during production) it's a very fine and apt score, with one of their best songs, the ethereal ...             The King And I (Original Broadway Cast) Richard Rodgers, Robert Russell Bennett, ... Mca, 1993 Something Entirely Wonderful! This was the first R+H recording i bought and i was enchanted by it from the very beginning.

Delos Records, 1994 A man with skill and a man with heart Richard Rodgers comes across as the splendid master of his art that he was, but Hammerstein glows as both a craftsman and a soul of eternal optimism about humanity.             Bizet: Carmen / Price, Corelli, Merrill, Freni; Karajan Georges Bizet, Wiener Philharmoniker, ... RCA, 1997 Maybe I'm a little partial... I first heard this version of Carmen many years ago, and for two main reasons, I can not give up listening to it. Reason #1: Leontyne Price's voice is so rich and spot-on, and reason #2: the Vienna Boys Choir add the necessary youthful element to the opera. I feel that ...             Lesley Garrett - Diva! ~ A Soprano at the Movies Alfredo Catalani, Léo Delibes, ... Silva America, 1992 Surprisingly good I bought this CD because of the catchy title and obviously great selection of material, expecting that the performances would probably be mediocre (Sarah Brightman is about what I was expecting) and unworthy of the word "Diva".
