The King and I (1956 Film Soundtrack) Summary Music Composed By Richard Rodgers. Lyrics Written By Oscar Hammerstein Ii.digitally Remastered By Darcy M. Proper Jen Wyler (sony Music Studios New York New York).considered By Many To Be An Improvement On The Original Cast Album That Followed The Show's 1951 Broadway Production This Record Features The Unmistakable Tones Of The Definitive 'king ' Yul Brynner But His Co-star Deborah Kerr's Singing Voice Is Skillfully Dubbed By One Of The Undisputed Mistresses Of That Art Marni Nixon. It Is Difficult To Spot The Point At Which Kerr Stops Speaking And Nixon Begins Singing On Lovely Songs Such As 'shall We Dance?' And 'getting To Know You ' But After Listening To The Score Again On The 1993 Cd Reissue It Is Easy To Understand The Album's Long Tenure In The Uk (103 Weeks) And Us (178 Weeks) Bestsellers Lists.rodgers & Hammerstein 30 Min.

Compared with the Broadway cast recording, the 1956 soundtrack to the film version of The King and I wins hands down. Yul Brynner is the king (literally and figuratively) in both formats (how could anyone else own such a role?), but the movie's score has better sonics, Brynner's voice is stronger, and the tunes are more memorable (thanks to Alfred Newman's conducting and Ken Darby's scoring) than on any of the various cast recordings. Marni Nixon sings the role of Anna (played onscreen by Deborah Kerr), Brynner delivers his hallmark performance, and the best-loved tunes--"Hello, Young Lovers," "Getting to Know You," and "I Whistle a Happy Tune" are the versions we'll always remember. A classic. --James Hendrickson
