New York, NY (Top40 Charts / Shore Fire Media) 'The Hills Are Alive,' Brooklyn Rundfunk Orkestrata's inspired adaptation of the classic musical 'The Sound of Music,' is out tomorrow (3/8) on Canal Records. The album mashes the Rodgers & Hammerstein score with modern hits like Jackson 5's "ABC," which one critic called both "disorienting and incredible." The group visited WNYC "Soundcheck" last week to discuss what went into recreating such an iconic piece of art, the proper name for a "Sound of Music" fanatic (Nuns? Von Trapists? Do Re Meniacs?), and more. Listen to the performance chat here: https://bit.ly/BRO-WNYC-Soundcheck.
