The Big Picture The bestselling soundtrack for the 1965 classic The Sound of Music is getting a deluxe re-release - and it may become one of your favorite things. The new deluxe edition features never-before-released material, including the singing voice of Christopher Plummer.
Entertainment Weekly reports that the new deluxe edition of the Sound of Music soundtrack will feature 40 unreleased songs, instrumental versions of all the musical numbers, and eleven alternate takes. Those include songs sung by Plummer - although he sang while filming, in the finished film he was overdubbed by singer Bill Lee.
What Is 'The Sound of Music'? One of the most iconic movie musicals of all time, The Sound of Music is an adaptation of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical of the same name, which was itself a depiction of the real life von Trapp family singers and their escape from Nazi-occupied Austria with their governess-turned-stepmother.
Nearly sixty years after its release, The Sound of Music remains enormously popular, especially around the winter holidays. In a re-examination of the film last year, Collider's Patrick Lyon found that the "unity of The Sound of Music's plot and format make for a surprisingly powerful story about the transformative joy of singing."
The deluxe edition of The Sound of Music soundtrack will be released on December 1. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates, and watch the original trailer for The Sound of Music below.
