Producer: Neely Plumb. Reissue producer: Paul Williams. Includes liner notes by Michael Mattesino. All tracks have been digitally remastered. One of the best-selling albums of all time, the original soundtrack for the film version of Rodgers & Hammerstein's THE SOUND OF MUSIC is above all a showcase for the formidable talents of Julie Andrews. She plays the novitiate Maria, governess and eventual mother to the seven musically gifted children of the widower Captain Trapp. During the swinging '60s much was made of Andrews' ultra-wholesome image in both this film and Disney's Mary Poppins. What can't be denied is Andrews' uniquely British brand of down-to-earth charisma. From the first bird-chirping strains introducing the famous opening scene in which Maria sings the title song amongst the Alps, Andrews is in utter command of this material. She so ably enacts her character's belief in the redemptive power of music--the real theme of this last and most universal of Rodgers & Hammerstein's musicals--that her bright performances of the justly revered "My Favorite Things" and the singing lesson "Do-Re-Mi" are suffused with intelligence and conviction.
