- Description
This 2000 recording of Stephen Sondheim's first musical, Saturday Night, featuring the original New York cast, is the first fully orchestrated rendering of the play's complete score and marks Nonesuch’s first Sondheim cast album. The New York Times calls the work "an appealing combination" of "several truly exquisite ballads" and "comic treats," including "a paean to life in Brooklyn that anticipates the satiric lyrics of West Side Story."
