Synopsis

Album Description

2008 edition. Regarded to be one of the best vocal group albums ever recorded, Sounds In the Night combines the hauntingly delicate arrangements of Russ Garcia with the extraordinary wordless vocals of the soprano, Marni Nixon, whose voice reached millions through such movies as The King and I, My Fair Lady and West Side Story, for which she ghosted the vocals of Deborah Kerr, Audrey Hepburn and Natalie Wood. This edition also features Marni Nixon performing Dennis Farnon's Mother Magoo Suite, which with its magical, hovering orchestration and gently rocking chords, taps into a vein of mystical wonder reminiscent of Walter Schumann's soundtrack for the classic 1955 film Night of the Hunter. El Records.

CD Reviews

Hard to find recording in MONO only

Elwood Conway | Frankfort, KY United States | 08/04/2009

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Just as in the Les Baxter SPACE ESCAPADES, this Russ Garcis release is the mono version only. Luckily I still have my stereo LP and although this CD is nicely produced, the stereo recording places the singers in the center and spreads out the instruments, just as you might see and hear them on stage. So that presence is lost on this CD...too bad really. Not sure why they decided not to go for the stereo version or BOTH as they did with the Versatile Henry Mancini."
