Free Music Review: Nice Rodgers and Hammerstein
Hit: 4 Stars
TSOM is a nice score, not R&H's best, but still heads over so much else at the time. Much has been said about Mary Martin's being too old. Apparently R&H didn't think so since they wrote TSOM for her. And audiences loved it! So much so that she won the Tony award that year. (Over Merman in Gypsy. Although, truth be told, Merman was not particularly popular with the theatrical community. From accounts I've read she was a major diva and a total b***h. And since it was her peers who were Tony voters...) Still it's a nice recording of pleasant R & H standards, different in scope than the film soundtrack but pretty good on it's own merit. Enjoyable!
The Sound of Music (1959 Original Broadway Cast) Poster
Most of the civilized world identifies this Rodgers and Hammerstein classic with the Robert Wise film, one of the most successful movie musicals of all time ("The Sound of Money," critic Pauline Kael termed it). Which is why this recording can be so disconcerting. Not only are there different tunes ("How Can Love Survive," "Laendler," "No Way to Stop It," but no "Confidence" or "Something Good," both written for the film), but Captain Von Trapp is played by heavyset folksinger Theodore Bikel, a far cry from young Christopher Plummer. Mary Martin was not only much older than the film's Julie Andrews, she wasn't even British! Then again, neither was the real Maria--and the stage version is, in many ways, more faithful to the Von Trapp Family Singers' true story. --Bill HoldshipAsian Exclusive!
