Passion 2013 New York Cast Double CD

This new recording of Stephen Sondheims 'PASSION' in an expansive two-disc set.br /br /"Close enough to singe your soul" is how The New York Times described the new production of PASSION, composer-lyricist Stephen Sondheim and bookwriter James Lapine's 1994 Tony Award-winning Best Musical. The Daily News hailed it as "a feast for the eyes and ears," while The Wall Street Journal predicted, "It will be a long time before we see another staging that speaks so eloquently to the mysteries of the human heart. It will move you to the marrow." Directed by the innovative John Doyle, who has been celebrated for his revelatory reinterpretations of Sondheimâs Sweeney Todd and Company, the Classic Stage Company production of PASSION, the first fully-staged New York revival of a work that has grown in both critical and popular esteem to become what many consider to be Sondheimâs deepest and most powerful evening of musical theatre, stars Judy Kuhn as Fosca ("impeccable and compelling" Associated Press), Melissa Errico as Clara ("ravishing" The Huffington Post) and Ryan Silverman as Giorgio ("a performance of risk-taking, unconditional emotional commitment" The New York Times), performing under the baton of Rob Berman to new orchestrations by longtime Sondheim collaborator Jonathan Tunick.br /br /Tracklisting:br /Disc 1:br /1.
