Burt Bacharach Dream Big

In recent months, Cherry Red's El imprint has turned its attention to a pair of legendary American composers.  Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990) and Burt Bacharach (1928-2023) were born just a decade apart, though Bacharach lived more than three decades longer than Bernstein.  Neither man was born in New York City, but both created much of their remarkable work there.  Both were proud Jewish Americans, and both wrote for the musical theatre.  An American in New York: Leonard Bernstein - The City

Stephen Sondheim

October 1999: It was a crisp fall afternoon when I first met Stephen Sondheim.

His look suddenly turned to one of concern, and his response took me aback: "Are you okay?"  I paused,
