Preview of "Bishop's Song" included in NYT Cast Album Roundup
Unfortunately I can't listen because it's behind a paywall.

I was wondering when we’d get a released date!

May!? That's still so far away!
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Green’s description makes it sound like we will be getting a fair amount of dialogue with underscoring. For people like me who have seen the show, that is promising. For those who haven’t, it may be less interesting.
I still wish some entity had done a professional video of the whole show, because the production itself was so impressively done. But as I mentioned earlier in the thread, I will take what I can get.

Sounds like we will almost certainly get the act two scene with Bishop/Marianne which is good.
Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

I wish we had, too. It's about as elegant and incisive a production we're going to see, until maybe it's revived in 40 years with a movie star and becomes a huge hit.

Be careful what you wish for! ;) Looks like it is now available to view from the TOFT archive, filmed in December.
I am big. It’s the REVIVALS that got small.

As long as you've got a library card for the NYPL you're in luck! the show was filmed for their archives and will be available for public viewing

It’s very lovely seeing a simple instrumentation of a musical. Tunick is a master and his sonic mapping of orchestration is masterful.

I’m so happy they’re doing a vinyl! I can’t wait to add it to my collection of other Sondheim original cast albums

The way the melody goes from the oboe to the bassoon in the preview video is just magical

The Exit Music was a standout I remember. So happy they recorded it.

Don't really understand why they're waiting until May to release this. Does it have to do with awards?

No, the Grammy cutoff is typically in September.
It could have something to do with announcing future plans for the show, or not wanting it to get sucked up by allllll the other shows opening in April, or just making sure they have a good enough time buffer to mix the album.
Given the state of streaming monetization, they might also be hoping to gin up the sales of the CD release, and physical CDs take time. Nowadays a lot of shows put the digital release out before the physical media.

Maybe it’s obvious, but it is not clear to me if any of interludes will include the bishop’s conversation with Marianne. There isn’t really any music with that, as I recall, so perhaps not.

HUGE fan of that scene, and recall that it snowed briefly in that moment. So i assume that it what track 24: Interlude 3 (Snow) is referring to...... at least I hope that's what it's referring to!

The Exit Music downloads for digital pre-order on 4/26. The “leak” is because other countries in time zones ahead get it first.
