Free Music Notes for My Fair Lady (1956 Original Broadway Cast)
Free Music Review: Break On Through
Hit: 5 Stars
In a watershed moment for Columbia Records, this original Broadway cast recording began the rapid climb of the company into the stratosphere of pop culture consciousness.
Produced by company president Goddard Lieberson, it sold five million copies and spent a staggering 480 weeks on the Billboard 200 album chart. To place the album in an accurate historical perspective, it was the Thriller of its generation.
It is timeless music - due to the rich arrangements & performances - with the numbers encapsulating the musical for those who only have the album as the point of reference.
There are few albums that truly define the American music industry. This is certainly one which has space on that lofty mantel.

I received the cd as I was told I would. Perfect in every way.Free Music Review: My Fair Lady (1956 Original Broadway Cast)
Hit: 5 Stars
The music CD of the 1956 Original Broadway Cast of My Fair Lady is truly excellent. The recording is crisp and clear and the music is tops. We all love the movie with Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison, but I must say that the soundtrack of the original Broadway play is superb. Julie Andrews' voice is clear as a bell, especially her high notes, her cockney accent is perfect. The other songs are extremely entertaining and fun.
The whole production is wonderful. I recommend it wholeheartedly. If you enjoy musicals with a lot of fun and gorgeous music, I suggest you acquire this soundtrack. I just wish that there was a film recording of this play. I would have loved to own it. I know it would be as good if not better than the motion picture version.
Free Music Review: the very best recording of a great musical
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a fabulous recording. The ebullient, joyful energy of the Broadway cast comes across magnificently: this was recorded, as the notes indicate, shortly after the show opened and the cast was thrilled by the stunning success of one of the greatest musicals of all time. Wonderful music, witty words, excellent production. Perhaps best of all is hearing Julie Andrews--very, very young-- in prime form in this role, which she really defined. (In the movie, starring Audrey Hepburn, the singing was dubbed by Marnie Nixon, though most of the other original stars besides Andrews were in the movie.) You will be delighted and amazed by the Andrews range, expressiveness, vibrancy, and skillful hints of Eliza's guttersnipe depths. These make this version a special thrill, not to be had in any of the film versions. Love it!!
