Title: I love this recording
Product review: I also have the DVD of the 1958 movie version. By the way, one of the "special features" on that DVD (actually two disks) is a "songs only" option, so you can play all the songs just as if you were playing a CD. I like this version; it is "different." I especially loved Careras' version of "this nearly was mine." He does sing it as if it is an aria from an opera, but that's almost what it is. The final note of that song is exquisite. I still prefer the movie version of "Bali Ha'i." Sarah Vaughn's version of that song is interesting too, but it won't haunt me to my grave the way the movie version will. I wish I had been in London in 1986. The song "So Far Away" is not included on this CD -- I suppose they didn't include it in the London production.
