In Sondheim Sublime, Melissa Errico shows us a side of Stephen Sondheims music that no singer has explored so completely before. Its not the satiric or slyly disillusioned Sondheim its the soulful Sondheim, the heartfelt, hungering Sondheim, author of songs of aching love and slowly dawning wisdom, the exalted, and reflective Sondheim: Sondheim Sublime. Accompanied by pianist Tedd Firth, Errico sings in a tone by turns hushed, electric and ecstatic, giving us a new understanding of the emotional intensity that has always equaled Sondheims virtuosic verbal magic. Its a program of songs of love and life lessons, including a perfectly protective mothers version of Not While Im Around while still having time for a provocative Sooner or Later. An album to place alongside her earlier Legrand Affair and Lullabies & Wildflowers as part of a uniquely lyrical and romantic library, Sondheim Sublime is an Errico album meant for the three-o-clocks in the mornings of the soul, when love is lost and wisdoms sought from one wise friend.
