£116.40This Nearly Was Mine - Richard Rodgers
The musical South Pacific from 1949 is one of the many successful theatre-productions by composer Richard Rodgers (1902 - 1979) which was developed in collaboration with lyricist Oscar Hammerstein. The association of this couple also resulted in famous musicals such as Oklahoma, The King And I, Flower Drum Song and The Sound Of Music. These productions, initially conceived for Broadway were soon made into movie-productions and shown all over the world. This has contributed to a considerable degree to make Rodgers' music of everlasting value.South Pacific is set - as may be gathered from the title - on an island in the Pacific Ocean. It is there that the planter Emil de Becque, who has left France, falls in love with Nellie Forbush, a nurse in the U.S. Navy, statione on the island during the raging World War II.After learning the truth about Emil's obscure past (he has comitted murder in his homecountry and he is the father of two children running loose on the island) Nellie starts to doubt the sincerity of their relationship.In the song This Nearly Was Mine, Emil expresses his misgivings on the outcome of their relationship.

£159.60Cordilleras de Los Andes - Arie Malando
Subtitled Bergen Cyclus (Cyclus of Mountains) as it should be considered a continuation of an earlier work Rivieren Cyclus (Cyclus of Rivers).The Dutch composer Malando was often inspired by original Latin-american music. Being a percussionist himself he often made use of exotic percussion-instruments in his orchestrations. Malando earned his greatest fame as a composer of tangos. His most famous tango Ol Guapa was said to be played almost every minute in some or other place in the world. Short before his death Malando made two tours to Japan where his music (and his orchestra) enjoyed a tremendous popularity.Kees Vlak is not only active as an arranger - as is the case with this Malando composition - but also as a composer in the Spanish and Latin-american idiom. In the Spanish genre he wrote several Suites: Paso Cabaio,Paso Flamenco, El Paso Montanesa and El Paso Moro Gitano. In the Latin-american genre he wrote the Antillian Suite and the Windward Islands Suite.
