Despite being a guy who's mostly into hard rock and rap, hearing this woman sing this song makes me tear up. Then again, so the hell what? I'm not made of stone!
One of the best emotional versions I've heard. What a great singer Kim is, she builds this song up until the final crescendo belting out those high notes, just brilliant!!!
It's difficult to find a good interpretation of "Climb Every Mountain" anywhere on the internet. Both her execution and stage presence lend themselves perfectly to this song. What a treat it must have been to be in the audience that night. Brava!
I have known Kim since junior high, we lived in the same neighborhood together, we went to school with each other, even saying in the high school course Together, made a amazing trip to Europe, she had an amazing voice then and amazing voice now. I wish you all the luck in the world Kim. Love you then, love you now.
I hope that Kim actually reads the comments on UA-cam. Hi Kim. I'm that Dude, who managed the bar at the Biltmore when you did "Star Dust". YOU WERE SO KIND TO ME in the early days. I remain stunned by you. I said Hello after a show, you walked up to me and had a talk with me about what it REALLY is/takes to succeed in this business, that I will NEVER forget.I am forever in your debt. And SERIOUSLY "It Happens To The Best Of Friends" remains my absolute favorite song of all times because of YOU
Hearing this really transported me back in time. In the late seventies, when I was in my twenties, I saw the very young Kim Criswell in a four singer revue at the Kennedy, based on the music of Rodgers and Hammerstein. The appearing with older and more experienced actors, Kim stole the show. Years later, living in London, I saw her performing again; she had settled permanently in the UK by then, and I saw her both in concert and in several plays. Very talented lady.
Kim Criswell has a VERY BEAUTIFUL singing voice and does a splendid job in singing famous songs from LOTS of Broadway and Movie Musicals. Good job well done 👍!!
The American who moved to London. The only and only Kim Criswell. America's loss is Great Britain's gain.......her glorious voice is as wonderful as ever. Long live Princess Kim!!!!!!!!!!!
Me trae muchos y cálidos recuerdos de mi mas tierna infancia, cuando aún asistía al jardín de infancia. A veces la escucho y me reconforta y hace que sienta lo mismo que sentía entonces...
l can scarcely believe it, but it is nearly 40 years since my late partner and l saw Kim Criswell as a young woman in a four-person Rodgers and Hammerstein review in Washington DC. Years later when we lived in London we saw her perform a few times, but l will always remember her as a girl of 20 or so.
La soprano Kim Criswell nos entrega aquí "Sube todas las montañas", con toda la calidez y magnificencia de su preciosa voz, un gran tributo a Peggy Wood, quien la cantó en la película "La Novicia Rebelde" filmada en 1964 y protagonizada por Julie Andrews y Christopher Plummer, como María y como el estirado Capitan von Trapp, respectivamente.
She has a huge stage presence and is a great musical star. Actually her voice is a bit weak and tentative in the opening section . I suspect she doesn't sing in operatic mezzo soprano style very often now , or perhaps until the key change the song is a bit too low for her voice ? However when she takes the last two high notes and smiles she is supreme!

It made me cry to.
You are not alone brother, let it out !
No shame in it bro, even dudes cry.
You speak like a true man. Nothing wrong with that I did the same. Beautiful performance and film it’s a masterpiece regardless of what you like

Such talent - and amazing perfectly executed high notes -
Holy hell that gave me shivers!!!! What a beautiful instrument to have!
If you enjoy singing a half-pitch too high...

This, for me, is the most beautiful song from “ Sound of Music”. This singer does it with such passion. Bravo!!!
Awesome! What a beautiful voice and interpretation!

THE BEST rendition. Kim did it so wonderfully and with elegance and class.
her voice gives justice to this song !!!! KIM a great singer !!!!
love that smile of utter satisfaction at the end
me too!!
that smile at the end .......PRICELESS!! like HECK YEA!!! I DID IT!!!
3 years on and i won t stop listening till she s reached 100 000 views. and even then......
' Climb Ev'ry Mountain '...a Rodgers & Hammerstein' s masterpiece !
wow awesome voice! goosebumps all over me!
High transparency is high and tension is high. The meaning of the performance content is deep, artistically supreme.
She actually never really liked this song. And yet, THIS was Kim's moment. Fantastic!!
Absolutely spectacular!
Way to go KIM! You nailed it!
A feast for the senses...magnificant
I was wondering how she would finish WOW!
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL ❤️❤️❤️❤️!!!!
Kim Criswell has a VERY BEAUTIFUL singing voice and does a splendid job in singing famous songs from LOTS of Broadway and Movie Musicals. Good job well done 👍!!

So good as the original!
Absolutely beautiful! Bravo!!!
Wonderful song. Great performance.
AMAZING! LOVE IT 10 stars!

Holy jeezus. Absolutely incredible.
Kim, you just get better. Been listening to you sing that song since 10th grade at Hixson High. Wow.
It's Kim Kriswell. It even says so in the description.
I climbed a lot of mountains when I was younger. I am from Colorado.

What a truly great song this.
And let's not forget to thank two gentlemen by the names of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II.
素晴らしい！本当に素晴らしい！本当に、本当に素晴らしい！
Bloody hell she's good!!!
If you like people singing out of key!

VERY inspirational song. And don't you wish you could sing that good!
wonderful
Kim and the choir equal magic.
One of the best, if not the best. Eileen Farrel, on a telarc recording, is my favourite.
Come to Australia, Kim!
👏👏👏👏👏💜💜💜💜💜💜
@mhertz25 she has moved here?
I saw here at Snape proms, a smaller theatre just before this concert, singing the same programme almost, excellent
fantastic
EPIC SONG!!
Wow weee!!!
Can anybody tell me where I can find this on CD &/or DVD ? Searched everywhere. Thanks in advance.
@hanshandslover Beautifully put... and I know exactly what you mean...
This song moves me
Just wow.
Now that makes up for the lacklustre performance from Sierra Boggess!!
Superb rendition. Very similar to Margery McKay's version.
genius
Oops. I left out the "is". What a truly great song this is.

However when she takes the last two high notes and smiles she is supreme!
Very sharp on the high notes...
good
Anyone that puts a thumb down needs to leave our planet
I've uploaded an HD version which this performance most certainly deserves! ua-cam.com/video/25IsnIDENgE/v-deo.html
2 dislikes? they never made it to the mountain top!
Not in the movie but The Real Von Trapp Family actually did reached to the very top of The Hill!!!!
A lot of people mentioned this to me as a FACT according to ALL of my books on the subject of The Sound of Music.
Which in reality is a FACT and the Truth beyond the Mountain of The Real Von Trapp Family!!
Kidding
It started with the orchestra drowning her out, it never got any better. She might have sung brilliantly, no one would ever know.
You need to clean out your ears
Kim Criswell still has a great voice, but man did she gain some weight. I think her version of "The Saga of Jenny" is the best I've ever heard.
