ABOUT RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN
After long and highly distinguished careers with other collaborators, Richard Rodgers (Composer, 1902-1979) and Oscar Hammerstein II (Librettist/Lyricist, 1895-1960) joined forces in 1943 to create the most successful partnership in American musical theater. Prior to joining forces, Rodgers collaborated with lyricist Lorenz Hart on musical comedies that epitomized wit and sophistication (Pal Joey, On Your Toes, Babes In Arms and more), while Hammerstein brought new life to operetta and created the classic Show Boat with Jerome Kern. Oklahoma!, the first Rodgers & Hammerstein musical, introduced an integrated form that became known as “the musical play.” Their shows that followed included Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I, and The Sound of Music. Collectively, the Rodgers & Hammerstein musicals have earned Tony, Oscar, Grammy, Emmy, Pulitzer, and Olivier Awards. The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization is a Concord Company, www.concord.com.

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
She's an entertainer for sure.
not him singing, though
@@laurieocathail2441 In this video, it is him singing. Just not in the movie.
His name isn't Christine! He's a man and his name is Christopher!!!
@@SMcCaskill Thank you, I was just about to say the same thing!!
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...
It's a great vocal-as-performance that I feel like is actually more common now than the more polished studio musicals made in Sound of Music's days. Both approaches have their pros and cons (there are plenty of actors in modern musicals who probably should've been either dubbed or recast with an actual singer) but when somebody can sing this well and it adds this much to the emotion of the moment, it's hard to understand why you wouldn't use this.
@@sarahreynolds1870I’m more of a fan of the older movie musicals than I am of modern ones
@@sarahreynolds1870Chris himself did not feel confident about his singing and how it will match up with that of Julie’s (he said how he was trembling so bad when they were recording the singings that Julie had to hold his hands) so Robert Weiss decided to find someone to dub
I prefer his performance more than Bill Lee They should have used his voice in.the movie
But his version IS perfect!!!❤❤❤
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.
exactly. His honest vocals actually match what is happening in the scene.
Agreed!
I feel the same way!
I feel you get more emotion from Plummer’s voice. Lee has plenty of emotion, but Plummer has the advantage of being IN the scene and being able to feel “his” children and their love around him.
I’ve been listening to this version (and his version of “Something Good”) over and over the past few days. Can’t get enough of it 🥰
Totally Agree about the… humanity? Rawness? Of Plummer’s voice. The Captain hasn’t sung in quite a while, of course he’d be somewhat nervous and rusty 😄 but that just ADDS to the charm of it all. That earnest attempt and uncertainty underpin the simplicity of the music- giving us this beautifully heartfelt scene 😊 Goodness I did not intend to make a mini analysis but this scene is just Too Good 🥺♥️
They should definitely have used this version of Christopher voice in the movie, using a dubbed voice was a huge mistake, this is absolutely wonderful! ❤
Definitely! It touches the heart.
What an injustice to the actor and the viewers!
It was Christopher Plummer's decision that he should be dubbed.
Which is exactly why his own voice should have been used. He was truly uncertain and it showed which fit that moment so well!
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.
I would love that so much too❤
I've always loved that face he makes at the end when looking at Maria. It's saying, hey I'm no Julie Andrews, but I did my best. 😊
Love this part..
This sounds like an actual father in real life singing to his children. Would’ve been perfect for the movie.
I cant take this. This is too beautiful 😩😭😭
Same. I am in tears.... 😢
😭
I agree. It conveys the fact that he has not sung to his children since their mom died so you can hear a bit of the rustiness there.
@@toono.2522 True. That's one reason why it was more realistic of the character to have Christopher do it,but Richard Rodgers was a wannabe opera composer who thought everybody had to sing like Pagliacci,except maybe for comedy characters.
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.
I’ve seen the movie 10 times! And I couldn’t agree more
I might agree, except with the other voices in the film being so strong and polished, his would have stuck out like a sore thumb no matter how sincere or emotional.
It greatly annoyed Chris that they dubbed his singing voice. He would have been so proud to have it shared today.
If you had been around in 1965, then you would have understood the reason why Plummer's version could not have been used. People in those days wanted their movie musicals to be perfect. If they had used Plummer's demo version---which I love---the critics would have had a field day blasting the filmmakers. You can just imagine a review stating, ". . .at the very least the filmmakers could have used actors who can sing; this is a disgrace". Hollywood tried making a musical in which the actors used their own untrained voices. It was Burt Reynolds in "At Long Last Love" and it was a total fiasco. Unless you were Judy Garland or Frank Sinatra, you were going to get dubbed.
I'm so confused by all these comments, this is the rendition I grew up with! My mom taped the movie off TV. I always loved his shakiness and sincerity.
Can we get the movie with Christopher Plummer’s vocals for the 60th anniversary
not unless you're financing it, honey! you people really live in a fantasy land
yes let's make that happen pls
@@missamericana.4 hopefully no studio is dumb enough to waste investor money on a project like that
@@Marcel_Audubon That’s like a 30 minutes job, and I’m being generous because.
@@FenrisTheMannis ain't gonna happen, sweetie
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 ❤️
His voice comforts me in a way I’ve never expected.
Me too !!! 😊
Me too
Me too!
Christopher Plummer did have a good voice. He actually did his own singing when he voiced Henri in An American Tail.
This is way better than the dubbed version. Goosebumps!
I agree. It's sincere, perfectly imperfect.
Absolutely..
no
I mean it's not but the imperfectness feels authentic and warm. Like a real father just singing to his kids.
The little laugh on the word happy is tremendous. Any director with heart and/or sense would have been completely sold on allowing Plummer to remain the voice from that moment.
Christopher Plummer was so amazingly handsome in the sound of music. Rest in peace Christopher Plummer.🎉🎉
One of the reasons why I keep watching the film!
@@shadykatie100Me too. Never seen an actor as handsome.
OMG Was he ever so handsome.
I crushed on him so hard when I was little
He was stunningly beautiful!!
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
This sounds less like a musical number and more like a dad singing to his kids on a whim.
He truly was a great actor.
That's right, and it's wonderful.
This version makes more sense, as he says he hasn’t sung in a long time, but either version is still beautiful
I apologize for being your 70th like.
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.
I didn't even know he was dubbed, they did a really good job. As opposed to My Fair Lady 😂
their voice are so alike
Why did anyone feel they needed to replace his version with the other? This is just fine.
I know. He did a very good job singing the song. There was no need to dub his voice.
Three years ago today Christopher Plummer left us. We truly will never see his like again, but how lucky we are to have witnessed performances like this. Rest in peace Captain. 🫡
Yes a sad day! It is comforting to hear him singing, it’s from his heart to ours .

Do we start the campaign for a 4k blu-ray with 'Optional Alternative Audio Track featuring original vocals by Christopher Plummer' like... now?!
YES
60th anniversary soon. 🤞
I want that!
Yes!!!! It's wonderful xx😊
Send me the link to the petition.
Edit: I also want 4K HDR of the entire Rogers and Hammerstein Collection.
Wonderful memories. No, this film will never lose its magic.
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.
It’ll take me some time for me to agree with you! But may they both rest in peace
The way his voice blends with Charmy's is heartstoppingly beautiful.
Christopher Plummer is beyond perfection. Way too handsome & his voice can cause tearful crying. What a long time ago this was-1965!
Christopher Plummer could not sing. His voice was dubbed.
Anyone who heard Plummer in his Tony-winning performance in CYRANO knows the man can sing!
Or An American Tail
Christopher Plummer is Canadian so it's gotta be "A Canadian Tail" !!! (hahaha) 😀 Love this version !!! WOW
@@ginakay2529 Very funny
What a great performance.
This is so lovely. I'm so glad to hear this in his own voice for the first time after all these years.
they should have left the original vocals. He sings in a very touching way!!
“Edelweiss” was the last song Rodgers & Hammerstein wrote together, and were Oscar Hammerstein’s final lyrics. He was suffering from stomach cancer and died nine months after the Broadway premiere of “The Sound of Music.”
😎🎹
You couldn't have asked for a more perfect sign-off lyric from the great man. It just seemed the perfect masterstroke that he signed off with this folk ballad about a hardy Alpine flower. It was a Good Thing that his sign-off lyric happened to be a goodbye address from the von Trapps to Austria.
This is one of my favorite scenes from the whole movie. The song and singing are obviously wonderful, but I love how the dreamy admiration of Captain von Trapp by Maria doesn't go unnoticed by the Baroness. The actress, Eleanor Parker, plays the scene masterfully.
I prefer this one. It's imperfect but so human and so intimate.
I could watch and listen to him everyday, those eyes and that smile, just drop dead gorgeous !
I had no idea what to expect as i eagerly waited for Christopher Plummers version - but now that ive heard his version - i can so relate to Maria/Julia!! Oh to have a man like Chris sing this to you with such genuineness and sincerity - no wonder she looks completely smitten!! Ill be listening this version many, many times! ❤
It’s a film, weirdo!
@@thefonzkissgo away
Apparently both Julie and Charmain felt the same way
Never seen this before and I wish they’d kept it in. It’s lovely, vulnerable and uncertain and made me want to cry more than the one broadcast in the film. The way he sang forever at 1:42 almost made me teary. I thought this was beautiful tbh, feels very genuine.
They did keep it in the movie I’m pretty sure
@sophieduggan The scene is in the movie but they dubbed over the vocals with a professional singer. This is the actual actor's original recording
@ Wow never actually realised that difference it sounds so alike sorry for the confusion I’m definitely gonna rewatch this now.
His voice makes the movie more real.
Both versions are good, but it seems more emotionally impactful because it comes out of the actor's mouth directly. It sounds like Christopher Plummer.
The older I get the more I appreciate this lovely film.
I know how you feel. I’m 31 and I was introduced to The Sound Of Music as a 13 year old. It took me almost a decade to give it another try. And since I transitioned from a boy to a man, I’ve now seen the movie 11 times. 5 of them have been since COVID hit
Christopher Plummer’s voice is so sweet and sincere. What a lovely rendition of that beautiful song! ❤
Hi Cindy 💐💐
I really like Christopher's voice!!! It is real and loving!!!! Very true to a family!!!
So do I. Should have been used in the film. So glad to finally hear him sing this song himself. ❤
He was such a wonderful actor and vocalist. Gave me a sense of comfort. Love this movie and this song .
Come si chiama il film non ricordo grazie
@@annaranzani1750 can you please translate to English ?
Bill Lee sang this not Plummer.
@ who the heck is Bill Lee ?
I only today found out it wasn’t actually Christopher singing in the movie and it shattered me. This was beautiful. This is a song with a melody that can make me cry.
Same here! I had no idea until now!
I listen to it like someone who.lost a life partner and praying, desperate , for his children. It brings tears to my eyes.
Christopher Plummer has a lovely singing voice. And he is so handsome! ❤
I prefer Christopher Plummer's vocals!!! So awesomely genuine!
There's something about this rendition that gives me goosepimples. Perhaps it's the strings which accompany Plummer's ineffable vocal beauty. And, certainly, the interest with which the children are listening to the artist contributes to the magic. You know a song is everlasting when it suddenly pops up in your head for no apparent reason and has you singing all day long.
Plummer may not have liked this role (not interesting enough, not enough character development) or the film (too sentimental), but he did make a lasting friendship with Julie Andrews. Those were his impressions of the film, not mine. Like most of the planet, I think the film is a timeless classic.
I don’t blame him! I do like the movie but it’s something I would only revisit once in a blue moon. I’ve seen it 10 times! But I’m glad they stayed good friends afterwards! Just makes me sad if COVID haven’t happened, Julie’s AFI tribute would have been their last public appearance together!
He likely felt that his career would always be under the shadow of The Sound of Music, but later in life his sentiments did change as he said he was grateful for the movie, saying it was an escape from reality for many and how it helped his career a lot
@@knguyennguyen5559 I could tell based on a reunion interview he did with Julie
It seems he especially hated "Edelweiss". And that he was drunk most of the time during filming.
@@Xerxes2005 look with your own eyes: can anyone dance as he did when drunk? Can anyone make all those amazing tiny reactions with perfect timing as he did - when drunk? Your eyes will answer, not viscous gossip you may have read.
This is so much better! It’s so much more fitting of the character! Nervous and unsure, a man who hasn’t tried preforming since he lost the first love of his life. It gives so much more depth
Hey, this gave me goosebumps. It should have been accepted, he sang straight from the ❤️
Makes me only love Christopher Plummer even more. Im going to be 50 in Jan. And I always had and always will have the biggest crush on this man!!! The voice seals the deal!!!❤
ME TOO! HE WAS SO GORGEOUS! 💓🌺💖🌺💝🌺💘🌺💓🌺💞🌺💖🌺💝🌺😅
Remind me why Christopher's singing was dubbed to begin with? This is so beautiful! 😭
From what I heard, it’s because Plummer didn’t think his voice was that good for singing
100 agree, he has a wonderful voice .. made me cry and gave me goosebumps
@@officialchase02Plummer was clearly his own worst critic. He's pretty much the only person who thinks he wasn't good enough.
@@virtualviking8447 yea
You can tell that he isn't a trained singer but his voice is still lovely
Christopher had a beautiful voice
This is gorgeous. So natural and honest. A travesty it wasn’t used in the film.
This is so much more authentic and moving than the dubbed version. Sad they didn't keep this. He channeled his character in that moment so beautifully. I'm so happy that I finally got to hear the real rendition of Plummer singing this song, which is the heart of The Sound of Music.
What a truly wonderful scene, dubbed or not, from the totally incredible movie. This scene will be shown for thousands of years into our future.
This rendition of the song is just so beautiful and perfect for the characters, thank you for this ❤
When she started singing, it was obvious that this was the person and voice she was harmonizing with.
Makes us miss the old days of pure innocents..😢😢
What an exquisite film! Never will there be another like it that so beautifully captures that golden era of Hollywood, now long gone. Its not just a national treasure its a world treasure!
Pure cinema has been slowly dying since COVID hit!
Who grew up in the late 60s and early 70s watching this every year? Such a strong emotion this one brings.
Trying to figure out how my first grade teacher taught us do re mi in 1960, when the movie didn't come out until 1965. Or maybe it was second grade.
Oh, the play came out in 1959. The original songs would have been released on records.
the first piece of music audio I ever owned was an 8-Track of the Sound of Music. I was eight years old at the time in 1975. About the time 8 tracks were dying out and cassettes were taking over. Real shame because 8 tracks had better sound quality when the 2 track per side limtations of cassettes.
This gives me an almost heartache it's so beautiful. What a fragile, lovely voice!
He sang it so touchingly.❤😊
He portrayed this hard, tough military officer who is a widower. He had to learn when to turn off his life as a captain and turn on his life as a father to seven children. Singing this Austrian folksong, you could see the ice melting and his heart of edelweiss shine through!
Christopher Plummer had such a beautiful singing voice.
This version is more authentic because the Captain said that he did not sing for a long time... A truly heart-warming rendition! The slightly bashful expression alongwith with a gentle shrug at the end of the song is so endearing. Captain and Maria looked beautiful together in the film! ❤️
I still get goosebumps a year later.
Christopher Plummers vocals is so wonderful why did they not use is version is beyond me l simply love ❤️ it 🎶🎥🎞️
Beautiful. He was a wonderful actor. An original.
One of my favorite songs in the whole movie.
no matter how many times I have seen this I could still watch it over again!
Hi Adrienne 💐💐
Of all the beautiful songs in The Sound of Music, Edelweiss is my favorite. It really moves me. Christoper Plummer, well done.
This is my favourite film. Just loved the songs and actors. Seemed a time in life when there were no wars.
Aren’t you forgetting the movie was released during the Vietnam War
He was gorgeous ❤
This was the Edelweiss rendition we all needed!
Hearing Christopher Plummer's raw authenticity brings new goosebumps to this all-time classic! 😍
Best movie ever made! Christopher Plummers vocals are wonderful!
Stunning seeing and hearing his true voice which was even more beautiful when the actress playing his daughter sang.
Excited to hear christopher sing it rip ❤️
I love his own voice. Pity it hadn't been used. Such vulnerability. Lovely to hear it now.
I love this version. So pure and emotional.
Hi Beth💐💐
This is beautiful, I wonder why they chose to dub him when he has such a lovely voice himself
He wanted it
What a treasure! I wish this were the version used in the film!
Christopher Plummer is so handsome!! He has a great singing voice!! I wonder why they didn’t use his voice, as it’s very believable!!! 🥰
Christopher Plummer was a world treasure. Beautiful man.
This is the part of the movie where I ALWAYS cry as the Captain shows his love for his children. I sang Edelweiss to all my children and grandchildren as a lullaby.
This should have been in the film.
This version is real and felt. Felt by him and all who hear him sing.
I find that he sings it with so much feeling ..❤😍🎶 so beautiful
I’ve always loved Edelweiss! Especially hearing it during the Christmas season. But hearing Plummer sing it with his real singing is quite a surprise to me!
I was thinking of this song when my wife and I discussed our daughter starting piano. A year later and seeing how much she loves it, I know this song is coming one day. I will definitely cry tears of joy.
Such a beautiful movie, wonderful song sung by Chris, so heartfelt. Angela Cartwright is so moved, a moment in time she will always remember.
Да, в этой сцене она почти плачет. Анджела Картрайт просто потрясающая в роли Бригитты.
I'm emotional here . Christopher Plummer's version is so authentic. This makes me want to watch SOM and envision Christopher singing this! Then just weep till no more tears fall!
I love Christopher Plummer's version. ❤❤❤
Sincerity can’t be replaced.👍🙏😍
The magic between Maria and Captain is wonderful . You did a very good job casting them. Love this movie forever ❤
He was just so handsome and had a Magnetic voice. ...I missed him. .
I had always assumed Plummer's voice was removed because he couldn't sing. I thought Plummer did a fine job singing. It really was good.
Wow, this is amazing. This has been my favorite movie since I was a kid. I read that Chris really wanted his voice to be used and they ended up going with Bill Lee. So glad to finally hear this!
What a charming rendition of this song! Dare I say that I like this version better than the one on the release print. Such tenderness and warmth; it was simply beautiful and moving.
Exactly!
Exactly. I wish they did not dub his voice in the film. He sounded very good when he sang this song. I'd love for there to be a 60th anniversary release of the film with him singing this song himself.
We’ll all Miss You Christopher
Beautiful version. Chris plummer had a great voice😁😍👏
This film is a treasure. I loved it as a child, now watching it as an adult, I see all the little glances and eye contact of them falling in love. The way he gestures to Maria when he says “you look happy” and she’s looking back longingly. It cuts to Max and the Baroness both noticing, and Max looking back and forth between Maria and the Baroness. Just sweet and simple love.
This is remarkably beautiful!! 👍👍🤓 I saw Christopher Plummer at a NYC Canadian Society Meeting in Manhattan in 1982 and I was mesmerized by his presentation! He was the real deal!!
The songs of the yesteryears were all so beautiful, simple and meaningful.
this touches my heart so deeply, the all time favorite film of mine, certainly one of the best movies ever made. so beautiful.
