Highly Recommended Album: SONDHEIM IN THE CITY

‘Sondheim in the City’ in The New York Times
“Sondheim in the City,” Melissa Errico’s tribute to Sondheim’s urbanity, feels like a New York house tour of thrill and heartbreak.

Sondheim and New York City: Melissa Errico Gets Both
“You might think Ms. Errico’s strongest asset is her beauty, meaning both sonic (those amazing chops) and visual (that face which, despite her own protestations in self-penned articles in the New York Times, would still empower her to play ingenue roles into her 50s) but in actuality, it’s her irrepressible enthusiasm.
