Description
|
|
|
|
For many music lovers, Julie Andrews as The King and I's feisty governess ("Getting to Know You," "Hello, Young Lovers," "Shall We Dance?") would be 'nuff said, but this well-conceived studio recording from 1992 also boasts opera legend Marilyn Horne as the Siamese King's head wife ("Something Wonderful") and Lea Salonga and Peabo Bryson as the clandestine lovers ("We Kiss in a Shadow"). "An all-star production with brilliant crossover casting…. The music has also been adapted, using the richer orchestration and some of the key transpositions of the film version. The overall result is an opulence of sound and a dramatic cutting edge that give the show a greater impact than ever."—Washington Post
