5 out of 5 stars The Whole Movie   November 27, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This album is not just the main songs sung in the show but it's almost all of the music and songs in the show!
For example, on the single CD the song Edelweiss is only sung by the Captain, Maria, the children and the chorus but on the 2nd album of this 40th Anniversary edition it's also has the song of Edelweiss sung by the Captain, Liesl and all of the children!
It also has the music of the Grand Waltz, the day Maria took them for the trip and even the Austrian folk Dance that Kurt wanted to be taught by Maria and the Captain took over to complete the dance. Plus many more!



5 out of 5 stars Great soundtrack!   October 21, 2008
This soundtrack has several bonus tracks as well as all the great music from the movie.


5 out of 5 stars fun listening for the whole family   October 14, 2008
Makes mundane jobs more fun when the whole family can listen to familiar tunes! Makes me want to watch the movie again & again!


5 out of 5 stars FINALLY, the soundtrack sounds as it should   May 4, 2008

I purchased the first CD release of this soundtrack and it was awful. Tape hiss was so bad, and echo was there from RCA using the album master instead of the original master tapes. Now, after hearing this version, RCA has obviously gone to great care to make this soundtrack sound brilliant and as good as I thought it should always sound. RCA's living stereo recordings were superb and that is exactly what we get here! They have eliminated all of the voice echo, the orchestra sounds full, and the master tapes for the soundtrack album are in better shape...sounding better than the tracks on the film (DVD) do.

You get the original soundtrack recording, plus many of the recordings from the 6-track magnetic music masters used for the film. The RCA soundtrack recording selections, in my opinion, survived better than the film masters. They are cleaner and brighter and the stereo is beautiful.

I strongly recommend this edition (40th anniversary) to anyone who loves this soundtrack regardless of if they own a previous edition, none of them live up to this one. It's finally perfect!



4 out of 5 stars Brings you right to every seen in the movie.....   April 6, 2008
The sound track is great!! I listened to it so much when I got it that I burned myself out!!! I had to take a little break before listening to it again. It would be a great gift. Everyone loves the Sound of Music.
