Free Music Notes for The Sound of Music (1965 Film Soundtrack - 40th Anniversary Special Edition)
Free Music Review: Edelweiss IS on here, despite what the jewel case says!
Hit: 5 Stars
I debated which edition of this soundtrack to purchase, but ultimately went with the 40th Anniversary Special Edition because it didn't have some of the "fluff" that other editions did, and it also included all the tracks I wanted (specifically, "Edelweiss" as sung by the Captain and Liesl). So imagine my surprise when my CD arrived and I looked at the track listing to find that Edelweiss (the non-reprise version) was not listed, despite other reviewers stating that it was included.
But rest assured, this is simply a misprint - Edelweiss IS included on the disc as track 11, despite the fact that it was left off the track listing. The reprise that is heard later in the movie is on the disc as well. I would hate to be the person who signed off on the final proofread of this CD. :)
Free Music Review: the best edition of the soundtrack yet
Hit: 5 Stars
Finally! Every song cue is here, including the reprises of "My Favorite Things" (sung by the children and Maria upon her return to the von Trapp villa) and "So Long, Farewell" (sung by Maria, the Captain, and the children as they make their exits from the music festival). These two tracks weren't even available on such otherwise complete sets as the 35th anniversary two-disc set and the 24-karat gold disc that came only with the 30th anniversary laserdisc set (those sets did have instrumental background music that's not available on this disc). It may seem silly to purchase yet another copy of this (exquisite) recording, but for completists like myself, it's delightful to have all of the songs on a disc at last.Free Music Review: Masterpiece

The 40th edition of "The Sound of Music" soundtrack is a special gift for all the movie fans. Not only because of the quality of the sound ("The Sound of Music" has never sounded better), but also because all the vocal singing parts of the film are, for the first time, forever registered. So, you have the whole concert before they escape from the nazis, you have Julie Andrews coming back from the abbey and meeting the children and dame Julie singing to Charmian Carr "You are 16", all in chronological order, respecting the movie narrative. It's more than we all have been waiting for. It's a masterpiece.Free Music Review: The Whole Movie
Hit: 5 Stars
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!

I love this movie so much, it's my favorite! So I recently bought this cd. Wow! If you love the movie, you'll love the cd. The cd has every song from the flic and is so clear. Listening to the songs make me want to watch the movie all over again for the trillionth time. You'll be able to picture every scene listening to this cd. Also, if your stuck in traffic and need a pick me up, play this cd. You'll wake up from your drowsy drive and entertain yourself cause you can actually sing along to a song and know the words, while the movie is replaying in your head.
