confusing". Music Songs include "Prelude & Legend" (based on Grieg's Piano Concerto in A minor), "Freddy and His Fiddle" (based on Norwegian Dance No.2), "Now" (based on Violin Sonata No. 2, and Waltz from Lyric Pieces), "Strange Music" (based on Wedding Day at Troldhaugen), "Midsummer's Eve" (based on One Balmy Summer Eve from Five Poems, Op.26, and Scherzo in E from Lyric Pieces), and "I Love You" (Ich Liebe Dich, from Melodies of the Heart, Op.5). The original Broadway cast recording was released by Decca Records on 6 78-rpm 12 inch discs. Irra Petina was under contract to a competing record label (Columbia), so her part in the "original cast" was sung by Kitty Carlisle, who never actually played the part on Broadway. Decca later released a 33 rpm single disc LP, with some edits to fit the single-disc medium. In 2004, Decca finally released the full original album on CD. Columbia Records made a recording in 1959 of the Jones Beach production (which opened in June 1958) with Brenda Lewis and John Reardon, which was released on CD by Masterworks Broadway.
