Sound Of Music-50th Anniversary Music CD and Blu-Ray Announced

THE SOUND OF MUSIC – 50^th ANNIVERSARY EDITION, a multi-format soundtrack release celebrating Rodgers & Hammerstein's 5-time Academy Award-winning movie musical in a newly re-mastered and expanded version, will be available every­where on March 10, 2015 through Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment and via Baker & Taylor.

As part of an extensive half-century celebration, THE SOUND OF MUSIC – 50^th ANNIVERSARY EDITION will feature previously unreleased orchestral cues from the Academy Award-winning score, and all vocal performances on one CD for the first time.  Led by Julie Andrews, whose work in the film earned her a Golden Globe award and an Academy Award nomination, the soundtrack rings out with heart­warming, iconic standards.  From the title composition, "The Sound of Music," to "Sixteen Going on Seven­teen," "Do-Re-Mi," "Edelweiss," "So Long, Farewell," "Climb Ev'ry Mountain," and of course, "My Favorite Things," The Sound Of Music is a treasure for all time.

In addition to the previously unreleased material, the new soundtrack will also include new introductory notes from Julie Andrews and Theodore S. Chapin, president and executive director of Rodgers & Hammerstein; and in-depth liner notes written by Laurence Malson, author of The Sound Of Music Companion.  The CD package will also include rare photographs and illustrations from the film.

Commemorating the golden anniversary, 20^th Century Fox Home Entertain­ment will release The Sound of Music 50^th Anniversary Blu-Ray, a 5-disc Ultimate Collector's Edition.  Included in the package will be an exclusive 50^th Anniversary CD featuring the original soundtrack album expanded with eight exclusive international bonus tracks from the Spanish, French and Italian-language versions of the film and never-before-released in the United States.
