THE SOUND OF MUSIC Releases Australian Cast Recording, 11/14

The Sound of Music brings us the last of the magnificent scores from the pens of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. The Australian production of The Sound of Music opened and was recorded at Melbourne's Princess Theatre in 1961 and ran for three years with a cast headed by the talented Australian soprano June Bronhill.

This recording was the first time a major overseas production featuring Australian artists was transferred to disc. Released on CD for the first time, the original Australian cast recording is complemented by a selection of rare bonus tracks including June Bronhill's studio recordings of the show highlights.
