Free Music Notes for Sondheim: The Stephen Sondheim Album

Free Music Review: Yet another piece of brilliance.
Hit: 5 Stars

I was very excited for The Stephen Sondheim Album. I'd loved Bruce Kimmel's previous compilation, The Stephen Schwartz Album, and I knew that this one was going to be just as great. The only difference was that I was heavily exposed to Sondheim before I got the album. This album did not disappoint me. The incredible mix of song and talent made this album enjoyable from the moment I stuck it into my C.D. player. I'd been anticipating certain songs, such as Michele Pawk's incredible and emotionally charged rendition of It Wasn't Meant To Happen, Dorothy Louden's I'm Still Here (very appropriate), and Dame Edna's beyond hilarious rendition of Losing My Mind, all from Follies, but many of the other songs on the album were pleasant surprises. My favorites included Andrew Lippa and Theresa Finnamore singing A Moment With You from Saturday Night (Sondheim's first show which was made into a smashing off-Broadway production last year), Brian d'Arcy James's Giants In the Sky from Into The Woods, and Christiane Noll's tear jerker rendition of Not A Day Goes By from Merrily We Roll Along (paired with You're Gonna Love Tomorrow from Follies). The bonus track is also something to die for. This was a great album for the new Fynsworth Alley label to start out with, and I'm looking forward to many more. Buy this C.D.! Even if you're not a Sondheim fan! After this, you'll be hooked.

Sondheim: The Stephen Sondheim Album Poster

Another Stephen Sondheim tribute album? Yes, but this one has a few distinguishing points. Most notably, it's the first release from Fynsworth Alley, the label that producer Bruce Kimmel formed after he left Varèse Sarabande. Fortunately, he brought along his usual stable of Broadway veterans, including Liz Callaway, Alice Ripley, and Ally McBeal's Jane Krakowski, singing both familiar and unfamiliar Sondheim tunes--among the latter is Brent Barrett's "Make the Most of Your Music" from the London version of Follies--and MTC Wild Party composer Andrew Lippa even makes a vocal appearance on Saturday Night's delightful "A Moment with You." The lightning rod of controversy is Dame Edna's half-sung, half-howled rendition of one of Sondheim's most tender ballads, "Losing My Mind." Kimmel has said that there was no point in a conventional take on the song because Dorothy Collins recorded the definitive version in the original cast of Follies. That's probably true; however, one could say the same thing about Yvonne De Carlo's "I'm Still Here," but that doesn't prevent Dorothy Loudon from posting an excellent (and fitting) take here. Regardless, even if Dame Edna's attempt at humor is an acquired taste, rest assured that it's only one skippable track on an hour-long disc of enjoyable Sondheim. --David Horiuchi
