5.0 out of 5 stars great gift
Bought this for my mom as a gift... she loves the Sound of Music and it's history and is recently retired. She loved reading more of the history of the family.

3.0 out of 5 stars One of the first "Early Music" ensembles
I spent two summers at the Trapp Family music camp when I was small, and used to go to their concerts at Town Hall in New York as a child in the 1950s. They were among the first to popularize what we now call "Early Music," music composed prior to 1750.

This review is from: The Original Trapp Family Singers (Audio CD)
I spent two summers at the Trapp Family music camp when I was small, and used to go to their concerts at Town Hall in New York as a child in the 1950s. They were among the first to popularize what we now call "Early Music," music composed prior to 1750. Musically and musicologically untrained, they nevertheless performed with impeccable taste a repertoire that was largely unknown to American audiences. I have been involed with Early Music performance for a very long time, and recognize the shortcomings of their approach, but nevertheless appreciate what they have done for the genre, and their absolutely sincerity and integrity in their performances. This recording includes many of the beloved pieces they used to sing at Camp and on their tours and concerts, so it is also quite nostalgic for me. I am glad to see it re-released on CD; my old - and I mean OLD - LP looks like a potato chip, and some of this music isn't available elsewhere.
