Sondheim On Sondheim Symphonic Version

Sondheim On Sondheim Symphonic Version
An intimate look at the Father of the Modern Musical with arrangements and revisions made for symphonies and orchestras.

Hailed as a "revelatory revue full of wonderful moments" and a "funny, affectionate and revealing tribute to musical theater's greatest living composer and lyricist," Sondheim on Sondheim Symphonic Version is an intimate portrait of the famed songwriter in his own words... and music. Revised and re-arranged to suit the needs of orchestras and symphonies, audiences get an inside look at the personal life and artistic process of famed composer, Stephen Sondheim through specially-created video interstitials.

His story. His inspiration. His genius. The tapestry of creativity that characterizes Stephen Sondheim remained largely undiscussed, especially by the man himself, until the creation of Sondheim on Sondheim. Ranging from the beloved to the obscure, the carefully selected two-dozen songs hang from a framework of in-depth video interviews, delving into Sondheim's personal life and artistic process.

Far from the typical song cycle, Sondheim on Sondheim Symphonic Version has massive theatrical potency, as well as inarguable staying power.
