Title: Martin and Pinza still have it all.
Review: As far as this recording goes, it seems the performers are more concerned with how "South Pacific" is going to serve them rather than how best they can serve the material. Reba is delightful, sweet, etc., but she is far too country and takes "hick" far too seriously vocally. Brian Stokes Mitchell does not have enough lyrical, resonant quality showing in the voice -- it all seems pushed as a means of showing the "dramatic." The masses will buy it, but not me. I am giving the CD away. I am quite content with the Original cast, even though the sound quality is, regrettably, inferior. It all seems to be intended for "crowd-pleasing" and not done out of respect for one of the Musical Theatre's greatest treasures.
