Music composed by Richard Rodgers. Lyrics written by Oscar Hammerstein II.
Principal cast includes Mary Martin (Ensign Nellie Forbush); Ezio Pinza (Emile De Becque); Juanita Hall (Bloody Mary).
Principally recorded at Columbia 30th Street Studio, New York, New York on April 18 & 19, 1949. Includes liner notes by Marc Kirkeby and Theodore S. Chapin.
While the 1958 movie version of SOUTH PACIFIC would spawn one of the all-time biggest-selling soundtracks, the original 1949 Broadway version's significance should not be understated. The Rogers & Hammerstein play was an international sensation, introduced opera star Ezio Pinza to a newer, wider audience, and provided the sexy spectacle of Mary Martin in the shower singing the classic "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair." Indeed, Pinza's original version of "Some Enchanted Evening" remains the standard's definitive version, an almost surreal pairing of classical phrasing and pop majesty.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.

The musical style of Alfonso Joseph (aka Alfonso El Panameno)is a unique and thus far an unclassified style; but it is simple enough to define. The music, instrumentation and genre are a combination of symphonic and Latin. The lyrics are Christian and biblically based themes. So, you can either decide for yourself or leave it to the industry pundits to categorize this musical style. Whatever you do, let it not fall away into the obscurity of "other". It is not deserving of such a fate. Latin Music BackgroundSo how did this unusual musical combination come about? The Latin influence comes from Alfonso's cultural roots. Alfonso was born in the Republic of Panamá, and is bilingual in English and Spanish. He migrated to America where he spent most of his life, and became an American citizen. His musical career began in the mid-nineteen fifties, learning and playing guitar with many Puerto Rican groups, 'conjuntos'. Thanks to the patience and support of the Puerto Rican community, Alfonso developed his skill on the guitar. He also acquired knowledge and experience in the diverse rhythmic variations of Puerto Rican music.At the suggestion of a friend, he replaced the guitar strings with electronic strings and used the guitar as a bass, playing only the last four strings. With this convention, he became a bass player. Soon after, a group of his Puerto Rican musician friends pitched in and bought him a Fender bass guitar and an Ampeg bass amplifier. Alfonso was one of handful of bass players at that time, who introduced and popularized the bass guitar in the Latin, Jazz, Latin/Jazz and R&B venue.In the sixties, Alfonso performed at the Palladium and in the late sixties and early seventies he performed at Roseland, two of New York City's most famous ballrooms and dance halls. In the late sixties/early seventies, he also played bass at Birdland, where all the Jazz and Latin-Jazz greats performed. As a bass player and vocalist, he accompanied, recorded and performed with some of the most popular and prominent bandleaders and musicians during the heyday of Latin music and Latin-Jazz. Historians and fans of this era as well as the older generation of Latinos, will remember most of these artists.... Arsenio Rodriguez, Candido, Celia Cruz, Tito Puente, Machito, Johnny Pacheco, Yomo Toro, Cachao, Miguelito Valdez, Doc Cheetham, Alfredo "Chocolate" Armentero, Mauricio Smith, Richie Ray and Marcelino Guerra to name a few. Arsenio Rodriguez was a tres guitarist and earned renown as a master of Afro-Cuban music and in particular is regarded by many as the originator of a Latin style called the "son montuno". Arsenio personally taught Alfonso the intricate techniques of Cuban bass rhythms and syncopation. Alfonso performed with Arsenio at Carnegie Hall and recorded with Arsenio on Ansonia Records ("Arsenio Rodriguez y Su Conjunto", Vol.2) and Tico Records ("Arsenio Dice... Arsenio Says").Candido, the great Cuban Latin-Jazz percussionist, also ...
