Synopsis

Amazon.com
This live 1989 recording from London's Royal Festival Hall was originally broadcast on British radio and features the now-defunct BBC Radio Orchestra. It's a solid 74-minute collection of well-known Sondheim, including multiple selections from Follies, Sunday in the Park with George, Sweeney Todd, and Merrily We Roll Along. The cast of British singers includes Claire Moore (Miss Saigon, Phantom of the Opera) and headliner Michael Ball, who would later appear in the London cast of Passion and here croons his way through "Not While I'm Around" and "Too Many Mornings" (with Moore). The performances may not quite match the original casts, but the singers perform well, and the orchestra sounds great. --David Horiuchi

Claire Moore and Michael Ball are spectacular!!!

(4 out of 5 stars)

"When I heard that Claire Moore and Michael Ball were doing a recording of Sondheim music, I immediately looked into it. THe songs are wonderful! If you are a fan of Sondheim it is a must but even if just a fan of musical theatre, this is a keepsake. the actors are all perfectly matched for their vocal talents! Even the weaker links seem to be covered by something that fits them :) Go and purchase this cd!!! You won't regret it!"
