Description

Rare Sealed RCA Red Seal digital vinyl LP of classic musical, Catlog # HBC1-5042.  This album is supposedly packaged in a gatefold cover, which I cannot display due to the fact it is sealed.
"Sunday in the Park with George (A Musical) Original Cast Recording : Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim...with Mandy Patinkin, Bernadette Peters ; 1984 RCA Red Seal Digital HBC1-5042 Long Play Record (gatefold cover with 20 page booklet) ; Stephen Sondheim's musical, inspired by the life and work of the French pointillist (or, as he preferred to be known, chromo-luminarist) painter Georges Seurat (1859-1991), is one of his most beguiling and challenging works, but one that won't necessarily appeal to every taste. The music is, on one level, an homage to Seurat's most celebrated painting, "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte," and could easily be the finest dramatization of a work of art and the life of an artist this side of Alexander Korda's film Rembrandt. But this is also a sweet, sad, profound, and ultimately elevating meditation on life and the creative process. Sunday in the Park with George moves with lightning swiftness between brittle passages, many centered on frustration, and soaring, achingly beautiful sections. It engages in a fair amount of wry comedy in the process, mostly at the expense of its characters, and, more importantly, the worlds of modern art, multimedia art, and new age music, among other '80s cultural fixtures. Clearly we're not talking about Gypsy or A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum here, in terms of entertainment (though there are a few broad moments for the ensemble, which include Charles Kimbrough and Brent Spiner), but Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters turn in brilliant performances together on "Color and Light," "We Do Not Belong Together," "Move On," "Children and Art"; the entire ensemble excels in "Sunday," and "Finishing the Hat" is worth the price of the LP by itself.....
