 The Best February 15, 2008
This is the definitive recording of this musical. To hear the voice of Pinza alone is worth the price.
Great music brings back memories! November 17, 2007
This cd is great. It reminds me of old times, the service, the South Pacific and we love it!
Best ever ! July 10, 2007
South Pacific has been part of my life, forever, from when I listened to it on 78's from the book until now on CD. With its great music, thought provoking lyrics and a "just right" cast, nothing in my opinion is wrong with it. Every time I play it I am lost in the whole being of it. Pure and utter enjoyment that crosses the generations. Leaves you feeling you are a cockeyed optimist!!
beautiful recording of a very important musical...... May 19, 2007

Though, SOUTH PACIFIC was made into a successful movie, I would take this, the original recording with Mary Martin (as Nellie Bly) and Enzio Pinza (as Emile de Becque) over it any day! For starters, there is so much spunk and great chemistry between the two leads--star crossed lovers who meet, by chance, in the South Pacific, when Bly is working as an on-site nurse for soldiers stationed there. This beautiful musical really has it all. Romance, humor (though, sometimes a little dated!) and drama. The sweeping score and powerful, punchy lyrics, written by the great team of Rodgers and Hammerstein, remains as compelling today as it was, at first release on Broadway, in 1949.
Some of the best-loved songs (plus many more) are featured on this remastered recording, available on CD. They include "You've Got to Be Carefully Taught," which alludes to racism and also how we are raised to be products of our environment, "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair," and "Some Enchanted Evening." You will really hear the powerful messages that the more dramatically intense songs convey and will smile over the others that are more light-hearted in nature. Just wonderful! They don't write songs like this anymore.
Enchanting Evening Always. January 19, 2007

This Broadway Show Original Recording CD is still the best. Mary Martin and Ezio Pinza are unmatchable. It is a treasure and a pleasure to listen again, and every time the whole score provides an enchanted evening. Look also at American Medicine MisManaged Care: How we can improve quality, cover the uninsured, add pharmacy and have $billions left over. This is the time to make it happen.
