SO GOOD.

Posted: 6/10/05 at 11:36pmThe interview with him on that same page is also illuminating...no pun intended. He really is a brilliant man who thinks on many levels and strives to create a score that grows with exposure but has an immediate impact as well.

Posted: 6/10/05 at 11:40pmdividing day without words is so bizarre lol. Love that melody though. I think he has a decent voice.... i dont think it is amazing though. What a great composer though....snaps for him.

Yeah, the interview ended abruptly for me too.
But wow, those demos are something. The accompaniment is amazing. I'm in love.

Posted: 6/10/05 at 11:51pmit stopped as victoria was singing FABLE for me (or the beauty is reprise... i forget which one it was). I love the insight he provides... seems like a really thorough and brilliant guy who is still down to earth. I could listen to him play the piano on those songs for days... you dont even need any voices to hear how beautiful this music is!

Posted: 6/11/05 at 1:00pmBit of a threadjack here but has anybody gotten the CD of Sondheim Sings?
#21re: Have you heard Adam Guettel singing his Piazza songs (3 demos)? WOW!
Posted: 6/11/05 at 1:04pmI've heard some of it. Not a big fan.
#22re: Have you heard Adam Guettel singing his Piazza songs (3 demos)? WOW!
Posted: 6/11/05 at 1:06pmI think it is more of a Sondheim completist thing anyways...meh
#23re: Have you heard Adam Guettel singing his Piazza songs (3 demos)? WOW!
Posted: 6/11/05 at 1:14pmExactly. I love Sondheim, but I'm happy enough hearing the actual performers singing his songs.
#24re: Have you heard Adam Guettel singing his Piazza songs (3 demos)? WOW!
Posted: 6/11/05 at 1:51pmI think it has a lot to do with the way they compose. Sondheim thinks about the message of the song, the character's motivation, and the wordplay to get that message across, while Guettel thinks of the emotion of the moment, the musical vernacular that character would use, and he adds lyrics after the rest of the song is composed. Thus, Sondheim is fun to listen to talk about how a song came about, and Guettel is more fun to listen to immersing himself in that musical moment.
