Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein Mary Martin, Ezio Pinza - South Pacific Original Broadway Cast
Review by Rob Sullivan
South Pacific Original Broadway Cast, composed by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, featuring Mary Martin and Ezio Pinza, is a timeless classic that has stood the test of time. Released in 1949, this album showcases the original cast of the Tony Award-winning musical, South Pacific.
The album features unforgettable songs like "Some Enchanted Evening," "Bali Ha'i," and "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair," all of which have become staples in the American songbook. The music is lush and romantic, evoking the tropical beauty of the South Pacific.
Mary Martin and Ezio Pinza's performances are both captivating and heartfelt. Martin's voice is sweet and pure, while Pinza's deep bass-baritone is commanding and powerful. Together, they bring a sense of authenticity to the music, transporting listeners to the lush, tropical paradise of the South Pacific.

Summary by Rob Sullivan
Comments
Like many others in this comments thread, this was the first Broadway cast album I can remember listening to. My parents had this one and Kiss Me Kate from the time I was born, but they didn't get another one until My Fair Lady came out in 1956. By that time I was starting to get interested in musicals and later on I collected a whole bunch for myself. But few were as great as either Kiss Me Kate or South Pacific. My parents had those two on 78 rpm--the album opened up like a book and you'd take out the six or eight records that were inside, arrange them in the proper order for the first "side," put them on your spindle and let them drop, one by one. When you finished the first side, you'd pick up the whole stack and just flip it over, put them back on your spindle, and they'd be in the proper order to play "side" two. That's how people played record albums before LPs came in, but LPs came in in 1949 (along with me!), so all the later albums we had were single-disc LPs.
I have this set on 78 in great shape i got it for free
This is the first album I ever remember seeing when I was very young. My family (including me, of course) listened to it over and over and over and. . .
Great recording ! Great music!
After 20 years of searching for this record I finally found it in a tiny record store. The surprise sent me in a shock so I had to get me a chair...
when music was
So beautiful.
My parents saw the original on Broadway with Mary Martin and Ezio Pinza. This album was one i listened to constantly when I was a kid..and then I got to be in the show twice; once as Nellie understudy!
I just sent this to Luna! Thank you.
Robert Russell Bennett usually assured the success of any shows for which he was the musical arranger...as brilliant today as 71 years ago.
My dad saw this on Broadway. He was stationed in the South Pacific with the Army Air Corps (B-29s) in WW2. We had the original cast LP, and I now have a CD of it.
This is fascinating music from a great time that has sadly passed us by!!!!!
I am startled anew every time I revisit this epochal Broadway cast album by the overwhelming magnificence of Ezio Pinza's glorious bass voice.
When I was a kid, this was the only soundtrack album (on LP!) my parents had, so I listened to it constantly. I remember my dad saying, "This is an unusual show; every song is a hit!" Later he added, "Well, this and My Fair Lady."
Yes, I finally found the version used in the musical (I was in a production of SP), absolutely love the overture, it's even better than the one used over the credits for the film version!
Thanks for posting the original Broadway cast recording, love it!!
Love the forties" bo bo di do" sound
They were great years for musicals(the 40's). Thanks for listening to these South Pacific songs...Friends, Lloyd.
Thanks for checking out this 1949 South Pacific recording...Friends, Lloyd.
Thanks Thomas for the Billboard info..fascinating
This is the longest Number One Album in history on the Billboard Charts. Between 1949-1953 it spent 69 weeks at number one. This beats out Michael Jackson's Thiller, which only reach number one for 37 Weeks.
