A Little Night Music (1973 Original Broadway Cast)
Stephen Sondheim

Sony, 1998

Sondheim's Best Musical
The beauty of the score sneaks up on you. The lyrics are Sondheim's most clever (The hands on the clock turn, but don't sing a nocturne just yet...) The singers do more than just sing the songs... They convey what they are feeling and thinking with their voices (which ...
  
  











  



  
Follies (Highlights from the 1971 Original Broadway Cast)
Stephen Sondheim, Dorothy Collins, ...

Angel Records, 1992

Incredible
Sondheim produces music that I can never get out of my head. I don't always catch onto the tunes and rhythms right away, but with time they become embedded in my mind. "Follies" is one of my favorites and sadly, one of the Sondheim plays I'm dying to see but think I ...
  
  











  



  
The Story So Far..
Stephen Sondheim

SONY CLASSICS, 2008

Enchanting, enthralling, entertaining: must have!
"If they asked me, I could write a book . . ." oops, wrong songwriter. But that's the way I feel about Sondheim. Back in 1971 a college pal took me to see "Company" in LA. Thus began my life-long love affair with Sondheim. I am proud to say I saw "Follies" in LA back ...
  
  











  



  
Into the Woods (1987 Original Broadway Cast)
Stephen Sondheim, Bernadette Peters, ...

RCA, 2007

an extremely clever musical that deserves to be more well known
Most people my age have never heard of this truly wonderful composition. This opened at the Martin Beck Theatre in November of 1987 and was a success lasting for 2 years. It interlocks 5 different fairy tales : 4 well-known(Cinderella, Red Riding-Hood , Rapunzel, and ...
  
  











  



  
Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street (1979 Original Broadway Cast)
Stephen Sondheim, Len Cariou, ...

RCA, 2007

The Definitive Version
As a big Sweeney Todd fan, I believe I have all the recordings of it. In my opinion, this one is the gold standard. I not saying that the other versions are not good, I'm just saying that this one is my favorite.
  
  











  



  
Company - A Musical Comedy (1970 Original Broadway Cast)
Stephen Sondheim, Dean Jones, ...

Sony, 1998

I'll Drink To That
As with most OBC recordings, this is the deffinitive recording of Company. Each cast member is wonderful and every song is a joy. Elaine Stritch is probably the highlight of the recording, she lends her wonderfully characteristic voice to the ensemble numbers (listen ...
  
  











  



  
Gypsy - A Musical Fable (1959 Original Broadway Cast)
Jule Styne, Stephen Sondheim, ...

Sony, 1999

Let Them Entertain You
Let me entertain you Let me see you smile I will do some kicks I will do some tricks (Mama Rose) Sing out, Louise! Sing out! I'll tell you a story I'll dance when she's done (Mama Rose) You're behind, honey! Catch up! Catch up! By ...
  
  











  



  
Sunday in the Park with George (1984 Original Broadway Cast)
Stephen Sondheim, Paul Gemignani, ...

RCA, 2007

Complex, Memorable and Moving.
Sunday in the Park with George is one of Sondheim's top 3 shows, and the score one of the greatest written of all time. A great quality of the show, definitively preserved by the OBC album, is its value of repeat viewing. Initially, "Children and Art", "Move On", ...
  
  











  



  
Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street Deluxe - Complete Edition
Stephen Sondheim, Paul Gemignani, ...

Nonesuch, 2007

A good modern take on a classic
"Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" is in my opinion Sondheim's greatest work and is an indisputable masterpiece. The 2007 Film Soundtrack featuring Johnny Depp as Sweeney Todd and Helena Bohman Carter as Mrs Lovett is a unique, fresh recording which makes ...
  
  











  



  
Greatest Hits: Broadway
Irving Berlin, Leonard Bernstein, ...

Sony, 1996

Great to Hear All those great Voices from the Past
I just wanted to confirm what the first reviewer had to say about this CD. To hear Ethyl Merman, Mary Martin, Andrea McCardle etc. singing their trademark songs brought a lot of memories from the mid-centry musical theater back again. The last song by Glynis Johns is ...
  
  











  



  
Merrily We Roll Along (1981 Original Broadway Cast)
Stephen Sondheim, Jim Walton, ...

RCA, 2007

Sondheim Had a Good Thing Going
Several years ago I saw a college production of MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG. At the time, I knew the musical had been a flop in its original run on Broadway; I went to see the production only because two friends of mine were playing the leading roles of Frank and Charlie. ...
  
  











  



  
Assassins (2004 Broadway Revival Cast)
Stephen Sondheim, Neil Patrick Harris, ...

P.S. Classics, 2004

Terrifying & Imposing Musical
Only a composer of Sondheim's genius would have the guts take on such controversial subject and pull it off with such skill and humanity. Assassins is a unique musical; both thought-provoking and catchy. Sondheim's songs are alternately haunting (The Ballad of Booth, ...
  
  











  



  
A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum (1962 Original Broadway Cast)
Stephen Sondheim

Angel Records, 1993

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
I really enjoyed the sound quality of this CD. My LP had worn out, especially on my favorite pieces. It was really great to hear "Dirty Old Man" with no skips or scratchy static.
  
  











  



  
The Best of Broadway - The American Musical (PBS Series)
Irving Berlin, Leonard Bernstein, ...

Decca Broadway, 2004

Yes this is Some of the Best of Broadway!
This CD from Decca Broadway is a wonderful selection of some of the "Greatest Hits" of the Broadway stage. Decca and Sony have done an excellent job of remastering the various recordings, some of which still show some of their age, but come across quite ...
  
  











  



  
Assassins (1991 Original Off-Broadway Cast)
Stephen Sondheim, Victor Garber, ...

RCA Victor Broadway, 1991

Stephen Sondheim's ASSASSINS-A Work Ahead of its Time
Stephen Sondheim has never shied away from difficult topics. In the 1970's he tackled love and relationships with "COMPANY". The 1980's saw murder and canibalism turned into one of the most brilliant operas of all time, namely "SWEENEY TODD." But "ASSASSINS", which ...
