70 Favorite Albums: 36. Sunday in the Park with George

07Dec09

Artist: Stephen Sondheim
Title: Sunday in the Park with George (2006 London Cast Recording)
Released: 2006
Genre: Broadway
Download: hxxp://www.megaupload.com/?d=UW4VIMIH
Favorite Tracks: Move On, We Do Not Belong Together, Lesson #8, Finishing the Hat, Children and Art, Beautiful, Sunday, Sunday in the Park with George

It seems weird to call this an album because for me it’s so much more. Like Rilke’s Duino Elegies (see my favorite books list), Sondheim’s Sunday in the Park with George was, and still is, a revelation, something that continues to inspire each time I listen to it. I love the simplicity of the 2006 revival and of course I love the original cast too (but I don’t have a copy of that album yet. sniff.)
