Title: Sound of Music-Sweet and Complete
Review: Yes, Mary Martin was a little old for Maria, but she becomes the character in this CD. The remastered version brings out a richer sound, but the original 1959 audio is a little funky (i.e. use of reverb, levels of singers microphones-especially kids) This, however is the original, and the movie version will never come close to the stage production. How can Love Survive?, and No Way to Stop It, showcase Max and Elsa's show-stealing capabilities. Theodore Bikel makes a fine Captain, especially in a very simple version of Edelweiss, not the over-produced version the movie portrayes. In all, a very fine album.
Is the review positive or negative?
