2 LPs on 1 CD: THE SOUND OF MUSIC (1960)/SOUTH PACIFIC (1958).
As he did with the musicals of Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, Percy Faith released orchestral adaptations of the scores of the hit musicals of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein III. This reissue collects the two most popular of those instrumental albums, THE SOUND OF MUSIC and MY FAIR LADY. Rodgers was a remarkable composer, and hearing his melodies without Hammerstein's equally impressive, prolix lyrics is possibly the best way to fully comprehend their timelessness and power. Rodgers' more classically-influenced style fits Faith's full orchestral arrangements somewhat better than Loewe's more pop-oriented scores, and both of these scores, particularly SOUTH PACIFIC, are perfect for Faith's treatments. Faith's version of SOUTH PACIFIC's "Bali Ha'i" is close to definitive.
