Steven Sondheim's Birthday

Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Steven Sondheim is seventy-five years old today. The glorious soprano Dawn Upshaw, who can sing every genre known to man, sings three of his songs for us this evening.
A Sondheim tribute wouldn’t be complete without a suite from “Sweeney Todd.” The London Symphony Orchestra obliges, under the baton of Don Sebesky.

James Huneker wrote: “To play Chopin, one must have acute sensibility, a versatility of mood, a perfect mechanism, the heart of a woman and the brain of a man.” You’ll experience all that, and more, when you hear pianist Maria Joao Pires play the Piano Concerto No. 1 with Emmanuel Krivine conducting the Chamber Orchestra of Europe.
