Imagine yourself sitting in Stephen Sondheim's living room as
he sits at the piano and sings 19 of his songs, some still in
the gestational stage. That's the gist of Sondheim Sings,
Vol. 1: 1962-1972, the first installment of what promises to
be a large collection of private recordings Sondheim made
"for fun" at the home of a friend. Naturally they're from
shows relatively early in Sondheim's career, such as Company,
Follies, A Funny Thing..., Anyone Can Whistle, and A Little
Night Music. But just because the songs were written for
those shows doesn't mean they made the final cut, so the
selections range from the ultra-familiar "Send in the Clowns"
and "Broadway Baby" to the less-familiar "Pleasant Little
Kingdom," "Marry Me a Little," and "Love Is in the Air." Of
course anyone who's the least bit versed in Sondheim song
collections probably already knows "Marry Me a Little" and
other such fare, but more rare is "No, Mary Ann" (from a
never-produced movie called The Thing of It Is), "Truly
Content" (a single song from The World of Jules Feiffer), and
"The Lame, the Halt and the Blind" (cut from Anyone Can
Whistle). A further element of interest is that some of the
songs are different from their final stage versions. The
changes are minor--a word here, a line there--but they offer
a glimpse into Sondheim's working process. The beautiful
booklet reprints all the lyrics as sung here, with notations
for where they were eventually changed and to what. It also
includes historic photos and detailed notes by Sondheim
archivist Peter E. Jones.
And how is Sondheim the performer? Broadway fans are well
aware that performances by songwriters can be valued for
their insight and passion, but not necessarily their beauty.
There's a 1971 quote from Sondheim: "For those of you who
have not had the pleasure of hearing my voice before, I tend
to sing very loud, usually off-pitch and always write in keys
that are just out of my range." That's a self-deprecating
exaggeration, but it's probably best said that Sondheim is a
good pianist who as a singer won't make anyone forget Barbara
Cook. Sondheim Sings is a product of PS Classics' non-profit
wing, and proceeds from the recording will go to Young
Playwrights Inc., which Sondheim founded to support
playwrights under 18.
