With the sound of music! Musicals aren't for everyone, but besides Oklahoma, the Sound of Music is one of Rodgers & Hammerstein's crowning achievements in musical theater.
The casting on this album include Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, two very skilled actors and singers. This creates an uplifting musical air in the film and also on the album. I dare anyone not to get goosebumps upon hearing Andrews sing "Do-Re-Mi" with the children. Its one of those songs, though while fun, also demonstrates Andrews' vocal range and precision. Other highlights are the "Prelude and the Sound of Music", "I Have Confidence" and "My Favorite Things" if you're seeking more of her performances.
As of this writing, Streaming Soundtracks is not carrying the 40th Anniversary Release of the Sound of Music which includes more of the background instrumental music as well as the overtures and the Entr'acte. For those seeking the Sound of Music in its entirety and crisp sound, should seek the 40th Anniversary release.
