"SIMPLY SONDHEIM - A 75TH BIRTHDAY SALUTE" AVAILABLE NOW ON
CD
Kritzerland (http://www.kritzerland.com/
) and A-J Productions (http://www.a-jproductions.net/
) announce the release of "Simply Sondheim - A 75th Birthday Salute",
recorded live in San Francisco on December 5, 2005. Of all the major
Sondheim birthday tributes produced worldwide that year, this is the
only complete concert recording available. Stephen Sondheim generously
consulted with the producers in the development of both the original
concert and the production of this recording.
The collector's item 2-CD set (with color booklet),
features: Broadway star Lisa Vroman; teen cabaret sensation Judy Butterfield;
Les Miserables national tour lead Kelly Ground; cabaret favorite Amy
Dondy; up-and-coming youth performer Hannah Rose Kornfeld, and numerous
other musical theatre and cabaret luminaries. The songs recorded are
a wealth of Sondheim's best-loved, lesser-known and, in some cases,
unpublished tunes, including the never-before-recorded "Farewell,"
written for the 1971 revival of A Funny Thing Happened On The Way
To The Forum, and the recently-rediscovered "I'm In Love With A Boy,"
written when Sondheim was only 16 years old.
James Brewer, President of A-J Productions, produced
both the concert and the CD, and has arranged that all profits from
the CD will go to the Mary Mason Memorial Lemonade Fund, an emergency
resource for critically ill theatre workers, administered by Theatre
Bay Area.
Bruce Kimmel, founder of Kritzerland, is one of the
leading producers of theatre music on CD, having produced over one
hundred thirty albums. He was nominated for a Grammy for the revival
cast album of Hello, Dolly! with Carol Channing, and has produced
solo albums for a long list of pop and theatre stars, including Petula
Clark and Liz Callaway. He has also produced many off-Broadway and
Broadway cast albums, including the hit revivals of The King and I,
The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, and Bells Are Ringing
"Simply SondheimȚA 75th Birthday Salute" is priced at
$22.95, and can be ordered through http://www.a-jproductions.net/
