The Sound of Music BBC Proms HD1080

[@patl4668]

Sierra Bogess is amazing, one of the best voice in Boardway.

[@thomasmcnerney9745]

Oh yes she is!!! It's hard to imagine ANYONE singing this song any better than Julie Andrews, but Sierra catches EVERYTHING that is wonderful about this musical. Absolutely beautiful performance!

[@pdamiani488]

This is the best performance since it was recorded for the 1965 soundtrack. Hands down.

[@ohmusicsweetmusic]

totally agree.

[@Porn05Mouth]

It really is. Good SOM recordings are exceptionally rare-this is one of the best.

[@zuichiang5088]

How on earth did the orchestra make it exactly sound like the 1965 Irwin Kostal's? Wow. Bravo!

[@Symphorch]

It's awesome right??? The main answer is that John Wilson and his orchestra specialize in doing the large-scale movie musicals in their specific arrangements. So, Mr. Wilson is able to dig deep into the vaults to pull out what he needs. The other thing is that this orchestra has probably learned about the performance practice of 50's and 60's movie orchestras and maybe even use similar instruments from the period.

[@helpstopanimalabuse8153]

Because they are playing the same instruments & the same notes. Not rocket science.

i dont mean to be off topic but does anybody know of a method to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot my account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me

[@keithemilio8888]

@Cassius Onyx Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@keithemilio8888]

@Cassius Onyx it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thank you so much, you saved my ass :D

Sierra as Maria!! this is a MUST!!

[@luizamsalgado]

Sooo great and wonderful ! Sierra Boggess is A MUST listen !

[@chesslerbooks]

I never heard of Sierra Boggess, and saw her first on these Prom concerts. Now I love her.

[@richardyoung871]

Watching this video reminds me of when I was very young, maybe 5th or 6th grade that my father paid for me and my classmates to see The sound of MUSIC and I never forgot it because it was a TREAT

The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall

[@GasCityGuy]

Sierra Boggess was absolutely perfect!(as always)

[@joerooney6724]

The story behind John Wilson with this type of music is amazing. For much of it was apparently destroyed and he spent 1000's of hours remaking it to its original sound.

[@PresidentialHP]

The scores to most/all of the Rogers and Hammerstein musicals exist and were never thrown out because they weren't held by the MGM library.

[@roncorbin4072]

This will live throughout eternity. One of the best movies ever made. God bless the stars of this wonderful movie

[@hextoken]

She has the singing, looks and theatrics of the classic old time stars. Magic.

[@GeometricMason]

You should find the 25th anniversary performance of Phantom of the Opera (which was also at the Royal Albert Hall coincidentally). She blew the doors off the place. She played Christine Daae on both sides of the Atlantic and Andrew Lloyd Weber has said she's the best Christine ever.

[@isuriadireja91]

Sierra Bogess...is that the lead vocalist's name...?? man, the look..the voice...HOW is she not a Disney princess already...that's crazy..!!! she's the full package. looking forward to more of her...maybe in a blockbuster musical, in the near future. oops! never mind...just googled her. dang!!! didn't realize this was recorded over a decade ago.... she's FORTY ONE now. And, she's the original Ariel on Broadway...wow!!! how has she not been on my radar..?!? she's incredible.

[@Rudy-zk2cq]

Never heard of Sierra Bogess. Now she'll live in my heart forever! She brought tears to my eyes and captured my heart. Inspired me to pull out my Blu-ray dvd and see the movie again. 🤗❤️♥️❤️🎵🎶🎵

[@johnsmith8560]

Take a listen to her Christine in Phantom of the Opera.

[@c5back9]

At age 10 in ‘65, Mum took me to see TSOM the first Saturday it was released. We saw many pictures together but every time I see this wonderful film or hear one of its beautiful melodies, I think of her. God bless you mother!

[@MyCesarFrancisco]

I can't stop watching these BBC Proms. Sierra Boggess, Julian Ovenden, John Wilson Orchestra and the rest are Simple Amazing !!!!

[@cltwulf]

That's Rod Gilfry singing with Sierra, not Julian Ovenden

[@Highinsight7]

I know... The Proms are THE GREATEST yearly celebration of music in the WORLD... maybe... even the Universe...!!! I LOVE the Proms!!!

[@stevenhopkins2887]

I grew up on this music.

[@stephenfarthing1522]

So did I! So did I!!!

[@MIKE389B]

When I was in junior high school, I went to see a movie for the first time by myself and I remember being so moved by the Sound of Music that I shuddered at the beginning. I immediately bought the record and have been captivated by the melody ever since.

[@ricardocaballero7451]

La mejor película musical que existe junto a excelentes actores y hermosos paisajes .Maravilloso todo!

[@normakalberer8514]

My favorite scene of the movie is when Maria, in her wedding gown, walks down the aisle of the cathedral. Just amazing.

[@tomtalker2000]

Sierra is a TRUE artist in every sense of the word. Her acting ability as well as vocal is outstanding. Diction, clarity, pitch, everything is spot on. Coming from one singer too another. I will say she wowed me MAJORLY in her role as Christine in Phantom with Ramin as The Phantom. So sad too see that outstanding musical end because of production costs. I can't believe Andrew Lloyd Webber said in an interview it costs nearly $1,000,000 a week to put on that production. That's insane but worth every penny in my opinion. And he we have never pulled the plug on it. Considering the younger generation is just now starting to get interested in it. I was VERY lucky enough too see Crawford and Brightman back in the 80's when it came to NY. And of all the musicals i've seen over the years Phantom will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart. It's not just a love story at it's roots. It's about acceptance of one's differences. One who feels like an outcast from society. If that doesn't speak volumes and still hold A TON of relevancy for people to relate too today. I don't know what does. So again, sad that it's getting pulled from Broadway.

[@martinscott2133]

[@roberttacorbett5795]

The music of Rodgers and Hammerstein will still be enjoyed hundreds of years from now. It is so beautiful!

[@edwarddejong8025]

A first class rendition. The orchestra, chorus are fantastic. Kudo's to the BBC for such quality work.

[@afrofinka]

I think we should give a special mention for the luscious and brilliant orchestration by Irwin Kostal, he definitely brought a great contribution to « The Sound of Music » Thank you John Wilson for putting a particular spotlight on the work of arrangers and orchestrators for the movies !

[@rez9386]

i swear i think watching the sound of music at a young age has made me musically inclined

[@20gravedigger11]

Sierra is fabulous... if they ever remake this movie (not that I would want that, but if), she should most certainly be asked to play Maria.

[@beccadarin758]

Evan I don't think they ever could. The magic would be so hard to recreate.

[@beccadarin758]

Just like they tried with the wizard of oz. It just wasn't right.

[@AravisKenobi14]

I was actually thinking they should have cast her as Maria in the TV live version instead of Carrie Underwood....

[@beccadarin758]

AravisKenobi14 that could have worked. As much as I love Carrie Underwood, she wasn't right to play Maria.

[@beccadarin758]

AravisKenobi14 you are absolutely right, wanna time travle?

[@edhebard8868]

The Sound of Music 🎵🎶 is my favorite .musical and the soundtack is phenomenal! It is also my favorite movie and I think it is the best musical ever recorded! The orchestra sounded exactly like in the musical! I took my aunt, who is a Sister of Saint Joseph to see it in Boston when Marie Osmond started as Julie Andrews and it was spectacular! My aunt could relate to it so much because she entered the convent as a novice when she was 18!

I am getting goosebumps from the very start of this beautiful presentation.....remembering my growing up in those hundreds of times I must have seen this movie as a whole or in clips throughout the sixties, seventies and then as a parent to two beautiful kids of mine who are themselves nearing thirty now.....The Sound Of Music always makes me emotional as I connected to the Von Trapp kids and maria when I was a child of four or five. And now thanks to the John Wilson Orchestra for playing it right through my heart !

But I have never seen a greater female singer than Sierra Boggis, pop singers today can’t match her as she is special. Only our Julie comes up to her as number one.
