Sounds in the night
acmem160cd
Released 27/11/08. 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. (She also stepped in to provide the high notes for Marilyn Monroe's rendition of Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend).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.
