Free Music Review: MARY MARTIN FOREVER
Hit: 5 Stars
O dear!... we're way within the second millenium and..... what more would anyone of us fans of the `musicals' have to add of this OBC album.... after regarding the famous publicity shot of the trio: R. Rodgers, Oscar II and postulant-nun-clad Mary Martin hopping happily ever-after, as light as bird from brier, on the way to their Banks, after the hounds of Münich plagued... I mean `The Sound Of Music' played on Broadway for 1443 performances?
Following the Lunt-Fontanne and the Mark Hellinger Theater runs, we all know so well what happened: IN came the 1965 mamoth-blockbuster film starring First Soprano Assoluta Ms Julie Andrews, directed and supported by Robby Wise and Chris Plummer... aaah, and featuring the ageing, all the more gorgeous-- wishing she had a mouth organ to play-- Eleanor Parker.
"Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white, clean and bright
You look happy to meet me"
(How can we EVER forget Chris Plummer's lovely, lovely inferior lip as he strummed his quaint guitar and lipsinked to this cutie, Alpine song...aaaw!)
Little to add; as we all remember, Andrews finally got her big break into movies via Poppins, Disney, co-star Dick Van Dike et al; she could then stick a stiff tongue out to Audrey Hepburn and she became (almost) every `musical' fan's daaaaarling.....Mary Pickford had preceded Dame Andrews in our granny's hearts, although Pickford --or granny-- could have never prevised Andrew's prodigious DICTION!. Anyway... what about `darling' Mary Martin... (Dallas' JR's mother, didn't you know by now??? )
What might be so laudatory about the 1959 Original Broadway Cast Album of your favourite musical movie? Robert Russel Bennet's orchestrations? Recording producer Goddard Lieberson???? (Who were THEY???) Yeah, I know:.... Mary Martin was too old to play the part of Maria.... Sure! So was Bernhard when she played L'Aiglon (and so was Tennesee's-Vivien Mrs. Stone `too old to play Rosalind' --said Coral Brown). But what about Mary Martin's voice, the awesome brivato, the delivery, the heartfelt every-Do-Re-Mi-notes she sang..... Who can beat her Sixteen-Goin-On-Seventeen-reprise number, or her `An Ordinary Couple torch song? Wwwweeeell.... mmmmm..... just listen to track 2; the title song... That's it, in a nutshell.
The Sound of Music (1959 Original Broadway Cast) Poster
Asian Exclusive! Gold Edition of the 1965 original soundtrack written by Rodgers & Hammerstein features 22 tracks including a bonus disc of 6 Music Box Version tracks: 'Do-Re-Mi', 'Edelweiss', 'The Sound Of Music', 'The Lonely Goatherd', 'So Long, Farewell' & 'Sixteen Going On Seventeen'. RCA. 2005.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 Holdship
