The von Trapps singing Edelweiss (great grandchildren)

Here’s a link to the album where The von Trapps recorded Edelweiss with Charmain Carr (Liesl in the Sound of Music) pinkmartini.com/discography/dr...
The von Trapps are currently pursuing individual careers outside of music, but they continue to make special guest appearances with friends and artists such as Pink Martini.
This performance was shot in 2013. They were working on an album with Jack Hanna (who evidently is a 5 star yodeler) and they sang for our staff out of the goodness of their hearts. As you can see, this is breathtaking.
Thank You , von Trapps!

I work for a video production company…someone grabbed a camera and shot this. They were extremely humble and lovely people. I’m so happy people can watch this and be so touched by it. I have been contacted by the von Trapp great grandkids and they have provided a link in the description of this video about what they are doing.

May we be reminded, once again, that we must always remember to do our best to live in peace and may we also remember the millions of other beautiful voices who have been silenced by war.

How beautiful and touching. When the Von Trapps made the courageous decision to risk their lives and leave everything behind to flee Nazi Germany they had no idea how it would turn out.

For his last song Oscar Hammerstein created lyrics that sounded like an old Bavarian folk tune. Richard Rodgers wrote a beautiful folk melody for it and a classic was born.The Sound of Music forever attached Edelweiss to the Von Trapp family and I'm sure that most of the grandchildren and great grandchildren grew up singing it. It's quite obvious that these 4 cousins have put a lot of work into the harmonies. That being said, for an impromptu performance in an office setting this sounds amazing.

The Von Trapps are from Portland, Oregon. When they decided to bow out of public performances in 2016 (at least a couple of them were in college at the time) they did a “farewell” concert here. It was at a modest but popular concert venue, and was packed to the gills. Lovely evening, with four charming, self-effacing and extremely talented siblings. So glad I was able to attend. Hope they eventually return to performing. In the meantime, I’ll just have to keep listening to their 2014 “Dream a Little Dream” album they recorded with the group Pink Martini (another Portland treasure).

They didn't climb a mountain. If they had, they would have ended up in Germany, in the back yard of Hitler's summer retreat! The family had Italian citizenship because the captain was born in what was then part of Italy. The family was able to leave with no problem.

[@ratflama8369]

@@jensmom604 True. I believe they took a train to southern Italy and then hopped a boat to the US. Also, the eldest daughter never dated a Nazi brownshirt and it was Maria the governess who was strict with the children. The old man was actually quite close to the kids. Roles and circumstances were changed in the film in I suppose the name of "artistic liberty".

[@bavarianwordsmith7834]

Only thing that we in Germany and they in Austria abolished royal titles by becoming republics. According to German and Austrian law the royal titles are bull and void. No one must call August his excellency, and the Freiherr is only part of the name. They get to keep their villas and castles, but have to pay taxes like everyone else. Unlike in the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark and UK, where their respective royal families live off of taxes and do as they please with their appanage. In Germany and Austria it's called parasitic lifestyle.

[@noratheyandere6448]

Bavarian Wordsmith actually, at least in the UK, the royal family pays taxes, and all nobles who own their estates are expected to care and pay for them themselves, that's why so many are open to the public for viewing, so the family has the money for repair and maintenance. Plus the Royal and noble families bring in more money then the government spends on them, so they pay for themselves.

Be still my heart...truly. Thank you.

[@GunMama06]

What a lovely group of talented young people-and what a fabulous arrangement of this classic piece. The groups' flawless harmonies are soothing to the soul.

[@ashxf]

They're certainly a tribute to their family. Well done!

Brings tears, of joy. My mother was Austrian, She was a nurse during WWII. And she loved that show.

Dear von Trapp family, thank you for blessing us. Your heritage is so inspiring! Who doesn't love someone stong, faithful to God, and willing to sacrifice for freedom? We sing with you against world tyrannies dictated by Jesuits and proscribed by satan's minions. We sing with you for truth, right, and freedom of conscience! We sing with you for all that is good, and all that is loving this Christmas!

My sister and I watched the Sound if Music last night. She sent me this. Beautiful voices.

[@dorizook3922]

Ahhh. Sheer bliss. No offense, but nitpicking over the film's creative liberties versus fact or spontaneous versus a written arrangement aren't important. It's beautiful and they are talented. Isn't that enough?

[@joeg2964]

What sweet nice kids.

[@DrParryAPeet]

I sang this a little boy at the age of 7 and now 50 years later I am touched to sing along again with this beautiful song. Thank you Von Trapp grandchildren for a great memory relived.

[@debbiez4875]

Talent runs in this family. That is one of my favorite songs from the movie

[@LeslieBigos]

Magical moment for all you who were there. Thanks for sharing. Their voices aren't only a performance but a legacy that conquered Nazism.

MARAVILLOSO!

[@contralto25]

Coincidence?! I watched "Sound of music" today for the zillionth time. I love the music and the love shown. These guys are good! Love it

Beautiful

It’s a miracle that the great grandkids are here. If their grandparents had not escaped, it would be a much sadder story. And song.

[@racheldesroberts9018]

So they are cousins? That's so cool to think about!

[@tottiemae2258]

Actually they are siblings, the grandchildren of Werner von Trapp, whose character in the movie was Kurt. At least, if you can believe what you read on the internet.

[@nicoledrury9337]

Tottie mae is correct. Their dad is Werner's (Kurt) son. They have a couple CDs they put out from around 2003, when they were quite young

Loved their rendition of Edelweiss!

[@collgoff]

The Avon trapps singing this song is really making their ancestors proud.

[@notsohandytim5090]

Given all that this song encompasses, there is no way I could stop it from painfully and cheerfully piercing my heart.

[@CK-sn2lg]

I almost started crying when I first heard this

[@brumak9620]

Their great grandmother Maria came to Brenau College, my school, in the late sixties and spoke of her journey she was a kind, gentle person. What a joy to hear these amazing voices coming together. Just lifts the spirit so much. Thank you to whoever posted this.

[@denvercatwoman6561]

I was so disappointed when they edited the movie to cut out the verse of Edelweiss where they harmonized. That was my favorite part of the movie. So happy I got to hear these young people sing. Gorgeous.

[@debbiehope4053]

Oh wow I love this song & the musical Sound of music. Your beautiful harmonys.Thank you & keep singing together. God bless you all.

[@judithmaryhill4862]

How wonderful to see the generations continuing the family traditions 😊❤👍😊❤👍

[@tm1830]

I’m sure their great grandparents would be so proud!

[@jonwolfson9842]

This arrangement is extremely complex and sophisticated, the singing is superb and they make the whole thing seem effortless and joyful. Absolutely wonderful!!!!!

[@cheerp7313]

Goosebumps! Thank you for that beautiful rendition! The Sound of Music was shown on the year of my birth -1965.

[@Martin-es8mb]

Same here I was born in 1965 too

[@johnw2026]

Awesome!

[@JefTy1]

[@jeanhall1850]

I love how they put on an impromptu performance free. Their voices are wonderful to listen to.💖
