Product Description

From Amazon.com

For one brief, shining moment, there was a place known as Camelot--and this 1961 recording is the only document available of JFK's favorite musical, the one that's been used to describe his presidential administration ever since. Truthfully, Lerner and Lowe's musical score for this retelling of the King Arthur story doesn't measure up to My Fair Lady, which was still playing when Camelot opened on December 3, 1960. That being said, the three principals here were stronger musically than their 1968 film counterparts--Julie Andrews and Robert Goulet (who became a star as Lancelot, thanks to "If Ever I Would Leave You") could sing, while the pre-Liz Richard Burton could recite those great lines with Shakespearean flair, even if he never scored a hit with "MacArthur Park." --Bill Holdship

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but with reservations, 26 Oct 2007
By L. Beaumont (Brussels, Belgium) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Loewe: Camelot: Original Broadway cast [SOUNDTRACK] (Audio CD)
The singing is of a consistently high standard, and Julie Andrews is on sparkling form as Guinevere.
BUT - and this is a huge BUT - in my view, Burton does not put enough feeling into his songs, certainly not in comparison with the Richard Harris/Fiona Fullerton recording. Nor is any of the spoken dialogue over music retained, which robs the soundtrack of the real FEEL of the show. In "How to handle a woman", for example, we miss Arthur's poignant spoken lines "What's wrong, Jenny? Where are you these days? I don't understand you..." And where is the Finale of Act I, with Arthur's magnificent soliloquy, during which he passes through hurt, violent hate and finally love/acceptance? Finally, the Finale Act II again only gives us the music and not the brilliant and moving lines spoken by Arthur about the pageboy he has just knighted and sent back to England to ensure that the story of Camelot lives on after Arthur's imminent death in battle: "...one of what we all are: less than a drop in the great blue motion of the sunlit sea, but it seems that some of the drops sparkle... they do sparkle..."
For me, this Camelot recording doesn't really sparkle for the above reasons.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful music and voices, 27 Sep 2007
By L. Peake "louisepeake2" (London UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Loewe: Camelot: Original Broadway cast [SOUNDTRACK] (Audio CD)
Lerner and Loewe wrote exquisite songs and in Julie Andrews they had a singer who could reach every note with control and clarity. She had the most wonderful 'instrument' at her disposal. She must have knocked audiences out seeing her live.

Richard Burton is not a singer as such but he has a beautiful voice anyway and can create an air of melancholy, strength or charm easily as you would expect from an actor of his quality. Even though he is supposedly a sing/talk performer like Rex Harrison, he sings a lot in this soundtrack, far more than he talks the songs. Listen to him in "What do the simple folk do" or "How to handle a woman", they are properly sung by him.

Robert Goulet's is a good, trained, strong sounding voice very suited to his songs.

Really lovely soundtrack with sympathetic orchestrations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Undeservedly Overlooked, 9 Jun 2008
By chatvarin (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Loewe: Camelot: Original Broadway cast [SOUNDTRACK] (Audio CD)
Over here in the UK at least, "Camelot" is hardly known. In truth the only reason I know it is because Julie Andrews is in the original broadway cast. "My Fair Lady" is loved everywhere and frequently revived, and indeed Julie Andrews features more prominent in the original cast recording for that show - if she be its popularity magnet that is.

I have never seen the musical, but for what I've read it seems the libretto is rather challengingly protracted. The music though is a jewel. It really sparkles with the shine of Camelot: of mythical, royal England. As such I can see why "Camelot" might not have been as popular as "My Fair Lady". Originating in the States, only a popular piece of entertainment would become endearing in the long run; the vigour of Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion" - to which it adheres to more than "Camelot" to T.H. White's "The Once and Future King" - induces "My Fair Lady" with rather more uplifting music. If you like grace with a touch of regal air, though, the music of "Camelot" is no less good. Julie Andrews is the only once-in-a-lifetime instrument here, but her befittingly complemented presence makes for an unforgettable experience.
