Customer Reviews

Amazing Voice
This collection of recordings introduced me to the sound of Julie Andrew's voice as a young girl. I had read that it was amazing in the number of octaves it could reach but I needed to hear it for myself. Anyone would enjoy this. I only wish that she sang more solo songs of different variety. At an early age she went into singing musicals and show tunes, and in most cases she is singing with a partner. I would like her to sing alone and songs of different styles. I highly recommend this.

Lovely Lilting Music
Starting with Julie Andrew's earliest recordings, "Once Upon a Time," includes a lovely selection of art songs and show tunes. This charming collection features Julie Andrew's incomparable lilting soprano.

Awesome!
I just love this CD (received it today). Julie Andrews is one my childhood idols. I am so glad some songs from High Tor and Tell it Again were included, I have these LPs but I wondered if I would ever listen to it on a digital recording... Also the small biography and some photos from her childhood, as well as the old songs she sang when she was twelve (though I missed Blue Danube, which I listened to on tape once, from Educating Archie show), make this CD a wonderful companion to the upcoming biography she wrote (and I am eagerly waiting to read).

This CD is a must for every Julie Andrews fan.

Now: I want Love Me Tender, the japanese version, with 16 songs, released on CD :D
