Rodgers Hammersteins South Pacific is a classic musical that has been loved by generations. The album, featuring Rossano Brazzi, Mitzi Gaynor, John Kerr, and Ray Walston, captures the essence of the show with its beautiful melodies and powerful performances.
Brazzi's rich, smooth voice lends depth and emotion to his solos, including "Some Enchanted Evening" and "This Nearly Was Mine." Gaynor's bright, clear vocals bring a youthful energy to "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair" and "A Wonderful Guy." Kerr's singing is equally impressive, particularly on "Younger Than Springtime" and "You've Got to Be Carefully Taught."
The ensemble numbers are also a highlight of the album, with the cast coming together for rousing renditions of "There is Nothin' Like a Dame" and "I'm in Love with a Wonderful Guy." The instrumental arrangements are top-notch, with the orchestra providing a lush and full sound that complements the singers perfectly.
