My Fair Lady was the 1950s Broadway hit that all other contemporary productions were measured against, and many of the reasons why can be found here. The three main leads --Rex Harrison, Julie Andrews, and Stanley Holloway, all veterans of the London cast -- were incomparable, with Harrison brilliantly turning his lack of vocal talents into a brilliant, highly personalized form of parlando. And Lerner and Loewe’s score couldn’t be bettered: "I Could Have Danced All Night,” “Rain in Spain,“ “I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face,“ "On the Street Where You Live,” “Get Me to the Church on Time,” “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly” -- these were just some of the songs that quickly entered international consciousness to become classic standards. This new edition of the original Broadway cast recording benefits from remastered sound and the addition of some informative contributions by Frederic Loewe and Rex Harrison. My Fair Lady is a recording that no one with any feeling for splendid songcraft and the art of theatrical singing should be without.
Billboard
Remastered with astonishing clarity, this definitive recording of My Fair Lady remains a romantic stunner.
