Julie Andrews -- In the Bleak Mid-Winter, 1973

[lennyw99]

For technical reasons Julie is definitely lip-synching but she is so much the perfectionist that it's almost impossible to perceive. Doesn't take away from the fact that this is an exemplary recording of a lovely carol.

Absolutely phenomenal. Her beauty was an absolute spectacle, and her voice and phrasing so uniquely her own. She was off the hook amazing in the 60's and 70's.

The best new I've heard is...She sings again!!!!! ♥ ♥

Such a beautiful voice... and great news!!! Her four-octave voice silenced by a throat operation in 1997, Julie Andrews is once again singing in the movies. Musical scenes she shot recently for "The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement" may not feature the soaring tones of "The Sound of Music," but Andrews' singing still brought tears to the eyes of even hardened stage hands.

i have this recording and it's very old but it's still my favourite version, i think she must be mouthing this song as it sounds too much like the recording even tho' this is supposed to be from a tv special, i know this song by heart, i've heard it so many times every Christmas for almost 40 yrs. nothing wrong with her mouthing it, i'm happy she is, i always like the original recorded version of songs anyways.

@10skylark She definitely isn't mouthing to a recording, she is a classically trained colorotura soprano, and so she is perfectly able to sing like this live with an orchestra and have it sound amazing, just like she would have on Broadway. I think autotune has definitely skewed how we all percieve singers today, because celebrities who don't have talent like Julie's are able to sound perfect live due to recordings. But she is definitely singing, she is just that good :)

I can easily set aside personal bias and say that Julie Andrews' singing of "In the bleak Midwinter" is much better than the the performance by the PBCC choir, in which I took part a year ago. The video accompaniment here is very nice, too. I wonder if Julie Andrews has been born again? Thank you GirlsInGerGirlSinger for posting this.

Wow, what the hell? Its like it was written just for her, perfect fit! Love it!!!

Allah's gift to mankind. What a beautiful voice! What a loss to us that she cannot sing like this anymore. Perhaps if God wills, she will get her voice back, just one more time to serenade our lives with her bell like voice and immaculate phrasing.

This has been my favourite Christmas carol since I first heard Julie sing it seven years ago!!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE her voice :DD

[seamusberen]

absolutely beautiful--this is the best rendition of this hymn I've ever heard and I'm so glad to finally find the video. Christmas isn't Christmas without Ms. Andrews singing this song. God bless her always.

[emilyplayseuphonium]

Practically perfect in every way! I absolutely LOVE both Dame Julie Andrews and her rendition of this song. It is so beautiful.. her voice is just so clean and pure. Thank you so much for posting this video! It inspired me to arrange her version of this song for brass quintet, which I can't wait to finish. Keep posting these awesome videos!
