Craft Recordings is pleased to release a special, 60th-anniversary reissue of The Sound Of Music (Original Broadway Cast Recording). Featuring legendary stage actress Mary Martin as Maria von Trapp opposite renowned actor Theodore Bikel, the album includes such unforgettable classics as “My Favorite Things,” “Edelweiss,” “Do-Re-Mi,” “Climb Ev’ry Mountain” and, of course, “The Sound of Music.” The soundtrack has been deftly remastered from the original three-track tape by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound. One of the most enduring and consistently successful musicals of all time, The Sound of Music was based on the memoir of Maria von Trapp: a young Austrian postulant who became the governess—and later stepmother—to the seven children of a widowed naval commander, all while the country was falling under Nazi occupation. Maria and the children—better known as the Trapp Family Singers—began performing regularly as a choir group in Austria and around Europe. At the onset of World War II, the family fled to America, where they would become a popular touring act throughout the next two decades. Sixty years later, The Sound of Music—and particularly its songbook—remains an evergreen favorite in popular culture. Music from the film has continued to resonate with new generations of artists.
