This giveaway is now closed.  Congrats to Jennifer Tilson, comment #123.

As a child, I was constantly singing Do-Re-Mi.  I can’t remember when the obsession started, but I’m willing to bet that The Sound of Music is fully responsible for my love of Broadway shows.  The Sound of Music first opened on Broadway 50 years ago this month.  In fact, it was the last musical collaboration between composer Richard Rodgers and lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II.

The Sound of Music ran 1,443 performances on Broadway, toured the U.S. for several seasons and became an even longer-running hit in London when the first British production (1961) ran twice as long as its Broadway counterpart. Then, 6 years later was brought to film starring Julie Andrews.  It’s won the hearts of many and continues to be one of the most popular musicals of all time.

S.O.Music_cvr7

In celebration of the 50th Anniversary, Sony Music has released the 50th Anniversary Special Edition of the Original Cast Recording.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Broadway premiere of The Sound of Music, Masterworks Broadway has restored the original cast recording in a new edition that features three unusual bonus tracks, extensive liner notes about the show’s history by Bert Fink of the Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization, and rarely seen photos of the recording sessions, held November 22, 1959, in Columbia Records’ celebrated 30th Street Studios.

In addition to the original cast recording, the three bonus tracks on the 50th anniversary edition are:

  • “From Switzerland: The Pratt Family,” a spoof of The Sound of Music created for and performed by Julie Andrews and Carol Burnett in 1962 on their TV special Julie and Carol Live at Carnegie Hall;
  • A live recording of “Edelweiss,” sung in German, from the historic first production (2005) of The Sound of Music in Vienna;

SOMBOOK

    LOVE this movie – and my Dtr-in-law would love to have this for my Grandson (she’s requested it for Christmas) who is 2 and is just right to start following along w/this music!!! And my Fav song is ‘Edelweiss’ because I love that while they were singing it they were escaping :)

    My favorite song is “Do-Re-Mi” because my sister and I used to sing this song together all the time! We loved it! :)
