Monday 6 November 2006 16:00-17:00 (Radio 3)
As the new London production of The Sound of Music settles in, Edward Seckerson discovers that Maria posed absolutely no problem for the great Broadway singer Mary Martin, who created the role.
His tribute also includes her performances from South Pacific, One Touch of Venus, Peter Pan and some rare archive with Richard Rodgers himself at the piano.
