[Randystudio]

Something about Plummer’s version truly delivers. he plays it as written; a man unsure of himself who hasn’t sang or performed since losing his wife. A man reluctant to show the slightest vulnerability to anyone in that room who, swept up in emotions of love both old and new, plays his favorite piece. Christine’s Plummer’s rendition is superior. A true actor and performer RIP

[faith]

Gosh, as much as I love Bill Lee’s rendition that’s used in the film, there’s just something so lovely and sincere about Christopher’s somewhat shaky, imperfect cadence. Really makes me weep. This album is what we’ve all been waiting for, truly 😭. And Irwin Kostal was a gift.

[lauraopper]

His rendition may not have been perfect, but it was authentic. He made the viewers feel as if he was just singing a folk song to entertain his family in an evening spent with friends. I love it...

[eleonoramaciel]

This rendition makes his bashful shrug at the end so much more meaningful. It would be lovely to get a version of the film with his voice in streaming platforms.

[mken]

This sounds less like a musical number and more like a dad singing to his kids on a whim.

[akinacroeser]

Can we get the movie with Christopher Plummer’s vocals for the 60th anniversary

[blacksoul]

I had no idea what to expect. Having grown up with this film and the film version. Christopher, although not perfect, is absolutely beautiful. Shame this wasn’t used in the film.

[ritawetterhan]

His singing is so real and slightly vulnerable— a fitting juxtaposition of his rigid military demeanor and his love for his children, Maria, and his country ❤️

[ohwow]

His voice comforts me in a way I’ve never expected.

[lillilo]

This version makes more sense, as he says he hasn’t sung in a long time, but either version is still beautiful

[peteralmazan]

This is way better than the dubbed version. Goosebumps!

[thomasaevans]

Do we start the campaign for a 4k blu-ray with 'Optional Alternative Audio Track featuring original vocals by Christopher Plummer' like... now?!

[ttintagel]

Casting did an amazing job of finding a singer whose voice sounded like just a stronger and more polished version of Plummer's own. Sometimes dubbing is so awkwardly obvious (looking at you, My Fair Lady) but hearing these original tracks makes it clear how much effort they put into finding just the right voice.

[missamericana.]

I love this so much better than the og, it's much more raw and sincere! And Charmain Carr sounds a lot better in this version as well.

[feliciarusli]

This is magical. I think Christopher's rendition has its own uniqueness to me, it feels like a father sang a lullaby to his 7 kids and sounds more sincere than Bill Lee's rendition

[rochellehibler]

Christopher Plummer was so amazingly handsome in the sound of music. Rest in peace Christopher Plummer.🎉🎉

[briankooker]

Anyone who heard Plummer in his Tony-winning performance in CYRANO knows the man can sing!

[Chishannicon]

This is so lovely. I'm so glad to hear this in his own voice for the first time after all these years.

[TheIceyeddy]

As a young boy watching the Sound of Music, I got tingles in my spine when watching Christopher Plummer performing this song. And still do to this day. And yes I still fancy him 🤣

[garystepp]

Who grew up in the late 60s and early 70s watching this every year? Such a strong emotion this one brings.
