続・菩提樹 主題歌

This recording was released by Telefunken in Japan as a tie-in to the 1958 West German film 'Die Trapp-Familie in Amerika,' known in Japan as 'Zoku Bodaiju' (Sequel to The Trapp Family). As the film continued the story of the von Trapp family musical troupe popularized by their earlier cinematic outings, this release captured the specific choral arrangements that defined the family's international public image during the mid-twentieth century.

The record features the Kinderchor Rudolf Lamy and the Regensburger Domspatzen, two of Germany's most distinguished children's and cathedral choirs. Their performances were intended to evoke the authentic, high-fidelity sound of German choral tradition, which had become highly prized by Japanese audiences who were deeply fond of the 'Trapp Family' films. The production sought to replicate the wholesome, precise harmonies that had come to be synonymous with the film's sentimental success.
