Anyone Can Whistle
Symbolic image – for the detailed description and condition, please read the Item Details below.
Stephen Sondheim's Anyone Can Whistle, originally staged in 1964, gets new life in this 2003 Columbia Legacy reissue. Though less frequently performed than his later masterpieces, it's a remarkable showcase of his early harmonic sophistication and lyrical ambition. The orchestrations move between whimsy and genuine emotional depth, demonstrating why Sondheim was becoming American musical theater's most innovative voice. Angela Lansbury anchors the original cast recording with her distinctive presence, the ensemble capturing the strange, clever world Sondheim created. While the show had a short initial run, the music here traces his development as a composer and proves why he would reshape the art form. Essential for Sondheim devotees.
