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 ...             Marilyn Horne - Divas in Songs (A 60th Birthday Celebration) with Caballé, Donath, Fleming, Swenson, von ...

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.

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 ...             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 ...             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.

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.

RCA, 1997 Karajan's Grand Opera Carmen Starring Leontyne Price This studio recording could almost pass for the soundtrack to a film version of the opera Carmen.

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 ...             Nicolai Ghiaurov Nicolai Ghiaurov, Georges Bizet, ...

Encore, 2000 Review of Americans in London The recording is excellent and replaces my old 78 recordings which I transferred to tape some years ago.
