The Sound Of Music -- Music From The NBC Television Event will include studio recordings for all of the musical numbers that are performed by cast members in the live broadcast, including Rodgers and Hammerstein favorites "The Sound of Music," "My Favorite Things," "Do-Re-Mi," "Sixteen Going on Seventeen," and "Climb Ev'ry Mountain," among others.
The Live broadcast has executive producers Neil Meron and Craig Zadan ("Smash" "The Academy Awards"). Directors are Rob Ashford ("Evita") and Beth McCarthy-Miller ("30 Rock").
The album may be a cast recording but it's still sure to do well on the charts and serve as a great bridge between album projects for Carrie Underwood. "My Favorite Things" will also likely become a holiday music staple on the radio this year, too.
