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

[zuichiang]

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

[pdamiani]

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

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

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.

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.

The Souund of Music means a lot to me as I loved the film so much My Daughter Wendy & I went to Salzburg for a Holiday and I played Max in the Dundee Operatic Society of "The Sound of Music " Austria is a Beautiful Country to Visit 15:50

[TheKryptoniteShow]

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

[roberttacorbett]

Sierra puts up a good challenge to Julie Andrews in her vocal performance. Bravo, Sierra!

[GasCityGuy]

Sierra Boggess was absolutely perfect!(as always)

[PsychicDetectiveYakumo]

can we just have Sierra release a cast album as the lead for every musical?? that is my dream

[jjeherrera]

They make a wonderful Maria and Capt. Von Trapp couple. The other singers are also amazing.

[bettycotton]

It was my favorite when I saw "The South of Music" in the 60's with Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer! It was my first date with my husband now of 52 years! This presentation is absolutely stunning! Love it! So grateful for this presentation! Thank you so

[MyCesarFrancisco]

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

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.

[tiffsaver]

I resisted watching "The Sound of Music" all my life... but resistance is futile. Now I know why it was so beloved. God bless Rodgers and Hammerstein.

[rez]

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

[ladygrey]

Sierra bogess is the most beautiful person with the most beautiful voice!!!!

[cback]

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!

[jacquelinemack]

This performance is truly exceptional. Especially climb every mountain!
