Free Music Notes for Cinderella (1957 Television Cast)
Free Music Review: A wonderful score...a wonderful cast!
Hit: 5 Stars
I purchased this for my 4 year old grandaughter after she had seen the stage play and wanted to learn all of the songs. We love to sing them...the step-sisters' lament which is very funny, "Impossible" and (her version) "A Luddly Night". A great introduction to musical theater for little people.Free Music Review: Hands down the best recording of this musical!
Hit: 5 Stars
I am admittedly biased because Julie Andrews is one of my favorite people. But everything else about this recording besides her singing is also superb, and in my opinion, quite superior to the remakes.Free Music Review: Cinderella with Julie Andrews

I love it. Much better than the later Leslie Ann Warren version. This particular CD looked like an old Columbia Records LP label. Very retro.Free Music Review: cinderella

Hit: 4 Stars
While Rodgers and Hammerstein's main plays have been adapted to film with varying success, the songwriting team made a very successful venture into television in 1958 with their original version of "Cinderella." Even though I've always found Julie Andrews more annoying than enjoyable, in this CD, her talents are given a chance to shine, with her excellent reading of Hammerstein's lyrics in such songs as "In My Own Little Corner," and "Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful." The terrible thing is, while a kinescope of this 1958 performance does exist and has been shown at broadcasting museums, it's the lackluster early color TV version from 1964 and the even worse 1990's version that are easily accessible to fans for video. Listen to this CD to hear the charm of Hammerstein's lyrics and one of the best scores Richard Rodgers turned out in the 1950s. The fact that he was battling depression right around the time he was scoring this TV production is unnoticeable. This score is up there with the classic R&H shows, "Oklahoma!", "South Pacific," and "The King and I."
