This is actually a studio re-recording and not an actual "soundtrack" record. The orchestrations by Johnny Green based on orchestrations by R. Bennett put Richard Rodgers' sentimental tunes to best advantage with a full overture, a waltz for the ball and more. The "South Pacific" rejected tune "Loneliness of Evening" is dusted off and works beautifully as a song for the Prince (Stuart Damon). Lesley Ann Warren is the perfect fragile heroine. This is possibly the most satisfying R&H album except for the 1965 soundtrack of "The Sound of Music."
