The debate will never stop raging between those who prefer Richard Rodgers's early work with Lorenz Hart and those partial to his later collaboration with Oscar Hammerstein. The shows of the two partnerships were so different that there's almost no resolution possible, but the themes on this CD prove that Rodgers wrote memorable melodies in very different styles during his career. Even if you prefer, say, Pal Joey, it's hard to deny the majestic allure of Carousel and The King and I. With the Rodgers & Hammerstein canon readily available on CD, this album is notable for two things. The first is that by focusing exclusively on overtures, and by presenting them in chronological order, it offers a quick survey of some of Rodgers's best-known melodies. The second is that it includes two rare... Less

A good read awaits theater lovers in this you-are-there account of the most phenomenal collaboration in Broadway history.Written by a theater historian who knew the great team, this entertaining book focuses on the two most enduring and successful of Rodgers & Hammerstein's hits -- Oklahoma! and The Sound of Music. The author gives fascinating accounts of how these two shows, both predicted to be disasters, came to be written, staged, and ensconced in theatrical history for completely opposite reasons. In Oklahoma! they broke from tradition and established totally new ground rules, then in The Sound of Music presented a remarkable throwback to an old-fashioned operetta style -- but were triumphant in both cases.
