Known as Hollywood's "Ghostess with the Mostess" for her singing in the screen musicals "West Side Story," "My Fair Lady," and "The King And I" (among others), Marni Nixon was also a favorite singer of Igor Stravinsky. These two sides of her career, the popular and the classical, come together superbly in her first recording of songs by George Gershwin, with sylish, imaginative accompaniements by Lincoln Mayorga. Accoring to Fanfare, this recording is "a must."

 

" ... The right way for a classical singer to sing popular music ... A must." - Fanfare

 

Lincoln Mayorga features on piano and also arranged the music on this CD.
