Stephen Sondheim's messy moments prove his genius - Telegraph

Stephen Sondheim's messy moments prove his genius  - Telegraph | music-all | Scoop.it

There was a time when a liking for Stephen Sondheim could cause fights at parties. From the late 1970s, when the future of the musical seemed seriously to be in doubt, the American composer had the status of a guru and his followers were loyal members of a cult.

Bernadette Peters on the other hand seems to have forgotten her vocal technique. It was painful to watch her struggle with her voice. It was almost as though she was writhing in pain as she searched for her former vocal ability. Unfortunately on stage is not the time for searching, it’s the time to have it all together.

Review: Hugh Martin, “Hidden Treasures: Songs for Stage and ... | music-all | Scoop.it

Did a cork pop? Did the world stop? Am I just in love…with the music and lyrics of Hugh Martin? Even if you don’t know the name of the late Mr. Martin, you certainly know his songs: “Meet Me in St. Louis,” “The Trolley Song,” and a little song heard every season, year after year, by the name of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” But these songs from the MGM musical Meet Me in St. Louis are just the tip of the iceberg of Hugh Martin’s catalogue, a few highlights of a career that lasted more than 75 years.
