The Sound of Music soundtrack is receiving a massive reissue featuring all of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s music from the film, along with the instrumentals of each song. The box set drops on December 1st via Craft Recordings.
Based on the 1959 Broadway musical, the Robert Wise-directed film adaptation of The Sound of Music was released in 1965. Within one year, the Julie Andrews-starring movie overtook Gone with the Wind as the highest-grossing film of all time. The Sound of Music received five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Adapted Score, and Best Actress for Andrews. The soundtrack, featuring now-classic songs like “My Favorite Things,” “Do-Re-Mi,” and “The Sound of Music,” spent a whopping 109 weeks in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart.
The reissue’s super deluxe edition — comprised of four CDs and one Blu-ray disc — features 40 previously unreleased tracks, including 11 never-before-heard alternate takes. The Blu-ray Audio disc contains the full score in hi-res audio, along with a Dolby Atmos mix of the original 16-song soundtrack. New liner notes from Mike Matessino, who remixed and remastered the album from the original tapes, are also contained in the box set.

“You will hear what you’ve heard before, famous songs with the mellifluous tones of Dame Julie Andrews leading the way, but the experience has been transformed beyond what the 1965 soundtrack album offered — with extensions to the songs, a brilliantly arranged underscore, and even some segments not used in the completed version of the film,” Matessino writes.
In addition, the album will be available in deluxe 2xCD and 3xLP triple-gatefold formats. Pre-orders are ongoing, with a special “Picnic Meadow Green” color pressing limited to 500 copies exclusively available via CraftRecordings.com. See a video showcasing the box set below.
As a preview of the collection, Craft Recordings has unveiled an alternate version of “Prelude and The Sound of Music.” Stream that below.
