You reminded me that I've been trying to get hold of that Sound of Music because there are a few interesting people on it. At the end of "He and She" on the Boys From Syracuse recording, you can hear Fitzgibbon go into a richer head voice than I think might be expected given what she sounds like most of the time on the recording. Bibi Osterwald on the old Columbia (still in some ways my favorite recording of the score) takes that passage down an octave, but Karen Morrow, Debbie Gravitte and Fitzgibbon all sing what's in the score. I think it's a bit less surprising with Morrow and Gravitte because they generally sing less raucously on those recordings. Fitzgibbon is much broader, which I can imagine some might not like.
I knew that Fitzgibbon could be heard singing "Why Do the Wrong People Travel?" on A Talent to Amuse, that 1969 Coward tribute, but my memory is that she sings a very short version of the song there. Didn't know she'd recorded it elsewhere. |
