Music composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Lyrics by Charles Hart.
It's a testament to Andrew Lloyd Webber's crowd-pleasing compositional skills that the original cast recording of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA went on to become the biggest-selling cast album ever. So when the time came to adapt his music for the film version ...

Music composed by Richard Rodgers. Lyrics written by Oscar Hammerstein II.
Recorded on April 16 & 17, 1951. Includes liner notes by Max O. Preeo.
The 1993 release of THE KING & I has been digitally remastered from the original master tapes and includes additional liner notes. It can be distinguished from the previous 1990 release by the Rodgers & Hammerstein 50th Anniversary logo in the upper left corner.
Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II's fifth musical, The King and I, was their first to be designed as a star vehicle -- written at the behest of British stage star Gertrude Lawrence to mark her return to the New York musical stage after ten years in 1951. Rodgers and Hammerstein were somewhat hamstrung by the principal cast members. Neither Lawrence nor Yul Brynner, a television director hired to play the part of the king, had much of a singing voice. The songwriters solved this problem by giving the rangy songs -- "We Kiss in a Shadow," "Something Wonderful," and "I Have Dreamed" -- to the secondary characters. As the star, Lawrence had to have several numbers, but Rodgers and Hammerstein played upon her role as a teacher to give her two simple tunes to be sung to children -- "I Whistle a Happy Tune" and "Getting to Know You" -- as well as a patter song expressing her anger with the king, "Shall I Tell You What I Think of You?" Even "Hello, Young Lovers" and her duet with Brynner, "Shall We Dance?," were pleasant ditties rather than demanding theater songs. And yet, the musical restrictions made for a highly enjoyable, pop-oriented score with slight Oriental touches. "Hello, Young Lovers" and "We Kiss in a Shadow" became minor hits, but the most memorable songs over time ended up being "I Whistle a Happy Tune" and "Getting to Know You," which became children's standards. The original Broadway cast album just missed topping the bestseller charts and remained listed there for over a year. It has remained in print through various reissues over the years, including a 50th-anniversary edition in 1993 and a 24-bit remastering in 2000. ~ William Ruhlmann
This 1994 British studio cast recording of Rodgers & Hammerstein's 1951 musical The King and I is one of a series undertaken by conductor John Owen Edwards intended to create "complete" versions of classic shows based on the original books, music, and lyrics, and employing the original orchestrations. They are complete in the sense that they include all of a show's songs and instrumental passages, along with those spoken dialogue sections that have musical underscoring, ...

Reviews for "Oculus"Review from the San Jose Mercury News Mon, Jun. 28, 2004by Richard Scheinin CD pick: New Century Chamber OrchestraKurt Rohde: OculusKurt Rohde's music is filled with exhilaration and dread. It's a mirror of our times, and its performance by the Bay Area's New Century Chamber Orchestra will make you clench the armrests of your seat.It's dark music, lit up by peckings, clackings, snaps and slides. It sounds eerie, but lyrical; sustained, but skittish; free-form, yet dancing. Strings are plucked, thumped and softly rubbed. Low drones underlie high flickers of melody. There's a lot going on at once -- it's music as multi-tasking, tightly and emotionally played by this excellent orchestra, which has no conductor and learns all pieces collaboratively.Special Features The enhanced CD contains MP3 files of performances (Rohde is a violist in the orchestra) and PDF excerpts from scores.-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --Review from Symphony MagazineNov/Dec 2004By Melinda WhitingNew Discs of NoteKurt Rohde: OculusNew Century Chamber OrchestraLooking for calm, sweet, restful contemporary music? Kurt Rohde is not your guy. By the evidence of the two works for string orchestra on his CD debut, this young composer leans toward an uneasily contemplative frame of mind, punctuated with anxious bursts of activity that seem to exhaust themselves, unresolved. Rohde's music is compelling, nonetheless, with an assured structural logic and a curious immediacy that could be called relevance. Hard to pin down, the origin of this quality is not so obvious as the pop-music references that will soon date the music of some of his contemporaries. There are musical allusions ...
