Liasons: Reimagining Sondheim from the Piano The brilliant songs of
Stephen Sondheim find a second life as beguiling instrumentals in
Anthony de Mare's acclaimed Liaisons project. The pianist and
new-music champion has commissioned a wide range of prominent
composers—including William Bolcom, Steve Reich, Jake Heggie, Mason
Bates, Gabriel Kahane, Ethan Iverson, and Wynton Marsalis—to each
re-imagine a favorite Sondheim song as a work for solo piano. The
thrilling result is a set of fully realized compositions of nuance and
subtlety, works that use the original themes as springboards for
invention and showcase de Mare's formidable talents at the keyboard.
