Bligh Voth and Joel DeCandio: The Sondheim Sessions

The depths of Stephen Sondheim's musical-theater catalogue have hardly gone unplumbed in recent decades, either onstage or in concert. But in their ever-evolving tribute to St. Steve, Bligh Voth and Joel DeCandio bring freshness to the catalog with a smartly calibrated mix of familiar favorites (such as "Johanna," "The Miller's Son" and "Unworthy of Your Love") and relative obscurities, including several that Sondheim wrote for film and television. The performers' complementary styles—she's a versatile dynamo with an expressive range as wide as her vocal one; he's a smooth crooner with a gentle air—bring out exroverted and introverted sides of the Master's compositional voice. Music director Nolan Bonvoulir provides spirited and inventive accompaniment.
