MORE COMMENTS ON CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER’s ORIGINAL PERFORMANCE:
@faith2461: 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.
@lauraopper2571: 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...
@eleonoramaciel6273: 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.
@ritawetterhan5232:
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 ❤️
One of my favorite musicals. I did not know Christopher Plummer’s voice was dubbed. Now I want to hear him sing it.
He only starts out shaky. His pitch and timbre are fine. So authentic. I have no idea Why they felt the need to dub over it.
