In 1958 Julie Andrews recorded an album of songs by some of Tin Pan Alley’s greatest composers, among them Cole Porter, the Gershwins, Irving Berlin, Rodgers and Hart, Harold Arlen, Hoagy Carmichael, Kurt Weill, Lerner and Loewe. Following on from her Broadway hits in The Boy Friend and My Fair Lady, the programme of songs chosen was something of a departure for the star. And what a success it turned out to be. With imaginative and lush orchestral arrangements from Irwin Kostal, the result is stunning. Now digitally remastered, the album is available at last on CD. In addition, there are bonus tracks featuring Julie in some of the songs from her stage and television successes.
