Customer Review: My father beat me once for a misdeed, and I resolved then
and there that Iwould never cry under his beltings again.
He whipped me 'til his belt broke and I would not give him the satisfaction of one tear. But this music...and this movie... draws out what
the belt could not.... more info
Customer Review: I received a copy of the current Broadway cast CD of South Pacific, and I was disappointed. Kelli sounds like she is from Scarsdale and Paolo sounds like he is from the Met. I found the supporting cast weak on that CD too. So I searched for the CD of the PBS special, and this CD was a revelation.... more info
Customer Review: This CD has the musical numbers from the 1965 motion picture entitled The Sound Of Music.

Customer Review: CAROUSEL is the only R&H musical that I completely embrace, along with OKLAHOMA, but I consider CAROUSEL to be a stronger show, not just musically, but in its narritive and character development as well. That said, I love listening to this recording! Audra McDonald's Carrie is a revelation, and... more info
Customer Review: I must say I have enjoyed this score over the years, however, the play does drag and presents itself much better in a concert version, which we are seeing alot of these days of older musicals...Must add that there is a 20 minute clip of original Broadway Cast performing music from the show in full... more info
