Ten years ago, de Mare began commissioning three dozen composers to each revamp a Sondheim song for solo piano. Stephen Sondheim fanatics and first-timers can discover a treasure trove of delight and despair in pianist Anthony de Mare's lovingly wrought 36-song tribute to the great man of Broadway. Liaisons - Re-imagining Sondheim From The Piano There's so much here we adore, from old favorites and new obsessions. Songs from a dozen countries and as many genres, and plenty from areas in-between. Pop for the first moments of new love, metal for the end of the world. This list of our favorite albums of the year (published alphabetically) includes hip-hop that reckons with our incandescent political moment and the foundational ideas that shaped our nation. It was also one in which sales records were not just broken but demolished.ĭespite all that, it was still just as easy to find great albums and just as hard to narrow them down to 50. 2015 was a year in which the fractures in the music industry's bedrock became everyday geography - a no man's land of streaming, downloads, CDs and LPs, with plenty of skirmishes and territory disputes. We allow ourselves to be swept away, to be seduced, to be fooled by a good new trick or an old one produced with grace and confidence. We sift for works that are definitive and for sounds or songs that cross boundaries, make connections, teach us something new. This is how we listen: Take 12 months, a few thousand albums and pan for gold.
