Yellow Sound Label releases SONDHEIM UNPLUGGED: THE NYC SESSIONS - VOLUME THREE

Yellow Sound Label has announced the release of the final instalment in a three-volume set dedicated to Stephen Sondheim, Sondheim Unplugged: The NYC Sessions – Volume Three. 

Sondheim Unplugged: The NYC Sessions is a “landmark collection destined to be a major contribution to the canon of Sondheim recordings” and features 70 singers and 120 songs. The latest edition includes both performers who originated roles in Sondheim’s musicals and ones who have been seen most recently in his Broadway productions. The album adds more Sondheim favourites to the collection, along with lesser-heard selections. 

Several of this edition’s key performers originated roles in Sondheim musicals, including George Lee Andrews (A Little Night Music), Danielle Ferland (Into the Woods, Sunday in the Park with George), Joy Franz (Into the Woods), Annie Golden (Assassins), Teri Ralston (Company, A Little Night Music), Ken Jennings (Sweeney Todd), Pamela Winslow Kashani (Into the Woods), Pamela Myers (Company), Sarah Rice (Sweeney Todd), Melanie Vaughan (Sunday in the Park with George), and Jim Walton (Merrily We Roll Along). The album also includes performances by vocalists seen more recently on Broadway in the Sondheim revivals of A Little Night Music (Ramona Mallory), Company (Claybourne Elder, Nicholas Rodriguez, Bruce Sabath), The Frogs (Eric Michael Gillett), Pacific Overtures (Telly Leung), and Lucia Spina, currently featured in Into the Woods.

The album is available today through streaming, digital formats, and a two-disc CD. For more information, please click here.
