    I have a confession to make. As much as I love the musical The Sound of Music, I only have one soundtrack from it – the original Broadway cast. At some point, I really do intend to buy the Julie Andrews movie version, but there are a couple songs that the movie cut I loved. However, that sound track I have has some issues, and I’ve wanted to replace it for years. Enter the Cast Recording from the recent The Sound of Music - Live, and I’ve found exactly what I’m looking for.

    All of your favorite sounds from the musical are here. We’re talking “My Favorite Things,” “Do-Re-Mi,” “Climb Every Mountain,” Edelweiss,” and “The Sound of Music,” among others. However, if you are only familiar with the movie, some things are going to be different here. The movie changed the order around, but this one sticks to the order from the original Broadway play. When I was in the play in college, I must admit the new order took a little getting used to, but once you do, you won’t mind at all.

    The only change this disc makes as far as songs go from the original is the song that Captain Von Trapp and Maria sing after they fall in love. Here, we get the song from the movie, “Something Good.” Honestly, I don’t care for either of the love songs, so I’m ambivalent about this.

    The soundtrack uses a full orchestra, as it should. The instruments sound amazing, and it’s easy to get swept up in the beauty of the music.

    And the singing? It’s wonderful. Carrie Underwood’s acting as Maria was criticized in the movie (and rightly so), but if you watched the movie carefully, she came alive whenever she was singing. That means there are no issues whatsoever with the songs she’s in. (And honestly, the couple of lines she speaks on the recording are better acted than Mary Martin’s acting at the same spots. Yes, I went there.) The rest of the cast is great. The kids don’t miss a note. Audra McDonald is amazing as Mother Superior. Stephen Moyer has a great voice, so his songs as the Captain are top notch. Rounding out the main cast of singers are Laura Benanti as Elsa (the Captain's ill-fated love interest) and Christian Borle as Max who both do fine jobs as well.

    So let’s talk about those two songs cut from the original movie. Both are songs that Elsa and Max sing. Captain Von Trapp joins them on the second song. From the first act, there’s “How Can Love Survive?” Elsa and Max sing this song to the Captain as a bit of a joke. The idea behind it is that, since the Captain and Elsa are rich, they have no struggles to overcome, so how can they possible make it. After all, the famous couples in love overcome great odds. It’s part bragging (Elsa), part jealousy (Max), and quite funny.

    The second song cut from the original movie is the first song from the second act - “No Way to Stop It.” Again, there’s some biting humor to the song, but there is a seriousness underneath it all. It comes as the Captain, Elsa, and Max are discussing the growing Nazi threat, and Elsa and Max try to use this song to convince the Captain that he should not try to fight the Nazi’s. I especially love how Stephen Moyer plays this song. In the movie, it was easy to tell how disgusted he was, but it still comes across in his voice on the recording.

    There are some other songs on here that are lesser known. The disc starts off with the nuns’ evening prayers. We get the song sung during the wedding as well as the two dance songs from the party in the first act. And the final track is the instrumental piece that pays over the credits.

    I have to comment briefly on the fact that this was recorded in a studio and not the soundtrack taken from the filmed live performance. I can understand why (partly because this was released before the movie), but I do still find it ironic.

    The only flaw I can find with this disc is the fact that they took out the middle section of “Do-Re-Mi.” Yes, the song can get repetitive and long, so maybe that is why. But since they included the entire song in the movie, I’m a little confused as to why it isn't all here on this recording.

    Still, that’s not nearly enough to be a deal breaker. I’ve found a new preferred version of the play soundtrack with The Sound of Music - Live Cast Recording. Still, I’m going to get the original movie soundtrack some day.

    When I first heard Carrie Underwood was going to do the Sound of Music I thought Oh! God! How can they do that!
    I haven't yet seen the TV airing yet (it airs two days later than this review), so I only had the cd to listen to. Of course, everyone first thinks of Julie Andrews (30 when she made the film - with The Boy Friend, My Fair Lady, and Camelot behind her giving her much theatrical stage experience. Then, there was the original Maria on stage in 1959 with Mary Martin (46 when she premiered the role, herself having had much theatrical experience including One Touch of Venus, South Pacific, Peter Pan). These were theatrical pros and legends. So we now have singer Carrie Underwood (now 30) singing a broadway show - a very beloved show at that - and a very different venue for her. Well, succeeds she does!! I was thoroughly delighted with her and the whole cast. The cd is so fresh, so alive, so joyous... I am very happy to add it to my collection of musical and soundtracks - my main area of collecting. I do not see how anyone can really find fault with it. Do yourself a favor and pretend it is someone unknown singing the role of Maria, and you will see how really good Ms. Underwood is. Maybe she should pursue a broadway career. I am reminded of an actress (??) named Pia Zadora and how people laughed when she said she was going to pursue a singing career - well she proved them wrong. Disney this is not!!!!

    Over the years I have tried repeatedly to watch this musical and longest I have lasted including in a theater was 10 minutes. I bought it strictly because I am a Stephen Moyer fan. He was fantastic in it and so were the other cast members. I can honestly say I enjoyed every minute of it. Be sure to watch the making of the production. It is very entertaining and interesting.

    An awesome soundtrack of such a beautiful show with beautiful orchestration. All of the stars can sing! My favorite is Carrie Underwood who never disappoints when she sings and she does not disappoint on this CD. My favorite Carrie song is "The Lonely Goatherd" and I just love her yodeling. I love the kids and their singing with Carrie on "Do Re Mi" and "Lonely Goatherd", The other person who I also especially enjoyed was Audra McDonald. She sings a beautiful duet with Carrie on "My Favorite Things" and "Climb Every Mountain" is absolutely beautiful. There are a couple of new songs that were not in the movie. You will also notice that there is a beginning verse of "Sound of Music" that Carrie sings that is NOT in the movie version. It is very pretty verse. As you listen to the first songs and the order of songs, you definitely will realize that this is NOT the movie version but the stage version.

    I cannot wait to see the show on December 5. I do not think we are going to be disappointed esp. after seeing the preview to the show last week and now after hearing all of the music. This CD is a great buy and you will not be disappointed.

    I am so impressed with the entire cast and crew on this amazing courageous endeavor! People nitpicking it or comparing it to the original movie forget that this was completely LIVE!! O redos or re-takes allowed like in the movie where they lip synced to a prerecorded track and did hundreds of takes to get it perfect.

    This was fearless and fantastic!

    Carrie's vocals are in the same key as Julie Andrews! Phenominal! And live! To the haters I say- you would not know talent if it kicked you on the face.

    Ps this was not a remake of the movie for those who are confused. It is a live revival of the original 1959 Broadway musical with Mary Martin- not a remake of the Julie Andrews movie- which came later.

    Great job by the entire cast and crew! Live theater in our living rooms once again!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great New Recording of the Stage Musical
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 11, 2013
    Although I still love the film version of this classic musical with the legendary Julie Andrews in the role of Maria, I equally love the original cast Recording with again the legendary Mary Martin who created the role of Maria on Broadway in 1959. This recording I feel recaptures the stage play for a television audience. What for me this recording does is to realize even more what a mistake it was by Robert Wise the film version's director to cut the songs that Max Elsa and Max Elsa and The Captain sing in the stage version: 'How can Love Survive' and 'No Way To Stop It! fine songs which show Hammerstein in a rare sardonic mood and give, again for me, more meaning to the story. Also I prefer 'My Favorite Things' sung by Maria and The Mother Abbess,
    rather than as in the film version to the children. In the stage version Maria sings to the children 'The Lonely Goatherd' here during the Thunderstorm which for me gives far more meaning to the song and includes Hammerstein's very clever lyrics. The film uses the marionettes puppet show for this song which Rodgers & Hammerstein would not I feel had written that type of song for that situation. Again that is how I feel.

    The cutting of the song 'An Ordinary Couple' and the substitution of 'Something Good' that Richard Rodgers wrote for the film version is justifiable however as Rodgers & Hammerstein themselves were never happy with that song, and wanted to write another, even their greatest fan and star Mary Martin dis-liked that song, it is reported as her saying I liked the words to 'An Ordinary Couple' but I never did like the music! Unfortunately Hammerstein's terminal illness prevented them from writing a new song. He died 9 months after the stage play opened on Broadway.

    I have heard that a lot of people have dis-liked this production comparing it unfavorably to the film version.

    Please remember this is NOT another television version of the film musical, but of the stage play.

    The DVD is available on region 1 from 17th December 2013 hopefully there will be an all region or region 2 disc available as well soon.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 6, 2015
    I bought this as kept missing the show when it was shown on TV over Christmas. The singing that Carrie provides is better than I thought it would be and there are some good and fun songs in this cd. Although was never a fan of the actual Julie Andrews film this live cd is pretty good although after hearing it the first time I was bored by it. I have to say I do like it now and its worth the money.
    Carrie's recent new album 'storyteller' which I rushed to buy from HMV is great too and while doing the Sound of Music was probably worth a try she should stick to making country music as it suits her a lot better.
    The other singers on the cd are also very good and I hope to eventually see the whole live show as while Carrie might not be the best actress she certainly can belt out some good stuff!
