The Sound of Music BBC Proms HD1080 

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

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

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

Sierra as Maria!! this is a MUST!!

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

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

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

Sing for me , my angel of music

I grew up on this music.

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.

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!

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 much!!!!!!

Sierra Boggess was absolutely perfect!(as always)

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.

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.

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

To begin, her voice, a coloratura soprano, is stunning. If you appreciate the precision of her pitch, exquisite tone and diction, emotional interpretation, the occasional tasteful and impressive vocal acrobatics. I LOVE her voice. This Proms appeareance was a chance to shine with her beautiful voice and show people her gorgeous voice. She had a great time doing it. You can tell by her voice.

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

That final smile... she deserves it 1000x

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 !

This performance is truly exceptional. Especially climb every mountain!

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.

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

Climb Every Mountain has me wiping my eyes. It’s not tears, my eyes are just... raining...

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

This gave me chills and flashbacks. This is amazing. And Sierra is freaking awesome!!!!!

OMG Climb Every Mountain wow wow wow Kim's voice had the hairs climbing off my back in amazement loved loved loved

This orchestra and choir is one of the best in the world in my opinion. Every musician and singer in this company is very much into the music. Miss Sierra is stunning in her elegant white gown, her face, hair, figure, her smile, her beautiful rendition and diction -- such perfection. Bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I miss the old movies of USA. They remind me of those beautiful and moral times

Absolutely Beautiful 🎶🎵 music by the Symphony Orchestra ❤️!!!! Sounds exactly like the music played to perfection of the movie musical of The Sound of Music!!!! Bravo

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

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.

I really like John Wilson’s conducting here. It's very fluid, and allows the ensemble, by listening to each other, to take its artistry to the next level. Bravissimi!

Just stumbled across this. Everyone is incredible, singers and orchestra alike, but my GOODNESS Sierra is amazing.

simply majestic! brings me back to the original movie! Wow just amazing!

She is amazing one of the best singer she was brilliant in phantom of the opera

I listen to this EVERY MORNING. It gives me strength and happiness! As someone else said, "Sierra puts up a good challenge to Julie Andrews in her vocal performance. Bravo, Sierra!"

Absolutely stunning. Sierra is a queen.

John Wilson never disappoints. Gorgeous arrangements of this classic. I'm sat in the Gaumont cinema with my Gran back in the sixties on the day I first saw this film ❤️

the hills are alive ~~~ my heart will be blessed with the sound of music,

Never Never get tired of listening to this The Sound Of Music wonderful the or any rendering of it.👏👏👏👏👏👏

Absolutely wonderful! I'm a "Sound of Music" lover and was in tears throughout this performance!

John you're amazing ❤❤❤

Perfection... the orchestra, the chior (those ladies made pure magic right there!) and Sierra... just perfection!!!!

This orchestra is superb and electrifying. The singers are equally great. of course,the great composer, Richard Rodgers ,wrote the best music for Carousal, Oklahoma,Sound of Music, and he was the best of all in his field. Thanks for this beautiful music.

That was supercalifragilisticexpialidocious as Julie Andrews once said, and please put a night at the Proms on your bucket list.

sierra knocked it outta the park!!!

All parts are perfect, the instruments and the vocal. Magnificent.

Still waiting for that glorious day when I can easily say to my love interest that I must have done something right in my life to have you standing there loving me as you are. Oh, I’d love that. Thank you for sharing!

Amazing Ochestra and Voices arrangements. It brings tears on my eyes. Very emotional moments...The Sound of Music is one of my favorite musical movie. I watch this movie for more than 100 times.....May God bless all of you for this magnificent performance. CONGRATULATIONS! - Elias Junior Cantor Missionário from Brazil.

Fabulous orchestra, then Sierra Boggess... my day is made!

this makes me so happy the overture sierra everything

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.

Still the film which gives me the most joy. Saw it when it first came out in 1965 twice and numerous times since then on tv/dvd.

That version Something Good is so moving.

Absolutely phenomenal

absolutely lovely great performance by all . well done all of you xx

This performance is a dream, so beautiful. ❤️👋

Wow! Just wow and wow again! This was the foundation of musical wonder and my childhood all rolled into one. I got emotional listening to the intro medley of all the main songs by was always specially moved by the nuns opening piece - it was always hauntingly beautiful and spiritual lity the same time. Those ladies nailed it!!!!

Saw this woman just a month ago here on you tube. Like an arrow straight into my heart..ufb

Music is the international language.

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 !

Sierra Boggess is the greatest singer in the world!!!

I want to see BBC PROMS Live onece in my live.

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

Sierra is the best !!!!!!!!

Sierra Boggess DIVINE!

The details within the orchestration of the OST that has been meticulously recreated is mind blowing. The song of the abbey is hair raising also.

Absolutely beautiful,orchestra and singing! As beautiful as originally performed! Thanks for sharing!

oh my god she would be an amazing Maria😍😍

By the way, wouldn't be great Sierra Boggess in the role of Eliza Doolittle? I would love to see her in My Fair Lady.

The female choir!!! Bloody hell!!!

El nombre, calza a la perfección. EL SONIDO DE LA MUSICA!!! GRACIAS

Breathtakingly beautiful!! ❤️

wow, what a performance, the score and vocal performance was just excellent. I love this movie and the music too.

So beautiful it made me cry!! I wish I could have heard it live.

The very best music event ever. Worldwide.

Kim Criswell did the best to sing Climb Every Mountain in the last. Extremely high notes stunned everyone.

Wonderful presenttion.

So beautiful.❤

Fantastic delivery and clear cut bell notes with big emotion... Gurl is great!

Sound of music needs to be on in the West end/Broadway/a tour , anything, for me to see Sierra play Maria, she'd be perfect 💝

This is one of the best things on internet

Oh, don’t those big grins all over the string players’ faces say it all? What an amazing medley of one of the best musicals out there. Bravo tutti, JWO, and of course the fabulous soloists! Keep this music alive!!

I could watch this video for hours

Love 💖 it , reminds me of my child hood and this music makes me feel happy . Fantastic performance from all round

Its as if the film is going to be shown on stage. AMAZING.Bravo.

Beautiful performances, for a great musical

Utterly flawless.

Ouvir atualmente algo assim me faz acreditar que o bem ainda existe na Terra! 🎉🎉

Sierra Boggess SIMPLY CHARMING

I so love this music!!!!! My goal in life is to one day be in a play of Sound of Music as Maria:)

WONDER WHAT HAPPEN TO THESE PEOPLE'S LIVES DURING THE CONVID 19 ? THEY GAVE US SO MUCH JOY IN THE HAPPY DAYS, HOPE THEY ALL MADE IT THROUGH THE TOUGH TIME.

Heart touching movie.. forever

Great performance!!! Great performers!!!

IF HEAVEN DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THIS... 🥲

What will this day be like? I wonder What will my future be? I wonder It could be so exciting To be out in the world To be free My heart should be wildly rejoicing Oh, what's the matter with me? I've always longed for adventure To do the things I've never dared Now here I'm facing adventure Then why am I so scared? A captain with seven children What's so fearsome about that? Oh, I must stop these doubts All these worries If I don't I just know I'll turn back I must dream of the things I am seeking I am seeking the courage I lack The courage to serve them with reliance Face my mistakes without defiance Show them I'm worthy And while I show them I'll show me So let them bring on all their problems I'll do better than my best I have confidence They'll put me to the test But I'll make them see I have confidence in me Somehow I will impress them I will be firm, but kind And all those children Heaven bless them They will look up to me And mind me With each step I am more certain Everything will turn out fine I have confidence The world can all be mine They'll have to agree I have confidence in me I have confidence in sunshine I have confidence in rain I have confidence that spring will come again Besides, which you see I have confidence in me Strength doesn't lie in numbers Strength doesn't lie in wealth Strength lies in nights of peaceful slumbers When you wake up Wake up! It's healthy All I trust I leave my heart to All I trust becomes my own I have confidence in confidence alone (Oh, help) I have confidence in confidence alone Besides, which you see I have confidence in me

So deeply emotional. Musical PERFECTION.

goosebumps all over ..

I'm now remember my seven eight years old-in the past, with my grandmother in Rio, Brazil, to watch this amazing movie The Song of Music when appeared to become one of the greatest actress Miss Julie Andrews... My God! Today I have sixty five years old. I'm so pleasure to listen to this beautiful music! Thanks a lot, Marco, from Rio, Brazil
