These children have the most beautiful voices I have ever heard. The songs on here are wonderful. Prayer for Papa is the most lovely song I have ever heard in my life. Tears were running down my face by the time it was over. It was so pretty. Down to the River to Pray is great and If I Had a Hammer is another fun song. Of course So Long Farewell was another highlight.

I would give this more stars if I could. They are really great.

I know I am out of the ordinary, but I enjoyed the first CD far better than volume 2. The first recording exposed the exclusiveness of these talented children. The 2nd CD brought in the contemporary beat which is not necessary as only the slightest musical accompaniment is needed or the loftiness of these voices is erased.

The original Von Trapp Family singers rested in their voices and viewed them as instruments in themselves.

And my cat Alfredo, who had never responded to music before or since, came and sat right next to the speakers and still rushes into the living room when I play the original outstanding recording.

Please Von Trapp children, make more CD's with the thought of your voices holding the instrumentation.

The songs are really good! I especially like Down to the River to Pray (both with music and a ccapella), My Old Kentucky Home, and Once Upon a December. Until I got this CD, I've only heard that song on Anastasia (and I watched that movie years ago), so it was great to hear it on a CD! I can't wait until the von Trapp Children get more CD's out, or come to my town!
