“From beginning to end, the wit is sophisticated and funny, and Sondheim's performances are remarkably assured.”
–San Francisco Chronicle
“You're getting a song just out of the gate. You're becoming acquainted with a Broadway master not long after the throes of creation, singing songs somewhere between the first-draft stage and the Broadway stage.”
–Chicago Tribune

Sondheim Sings, Volume II
1946–60
The second volume of SONDHEIM SINGS, like the first volume, includes newly remastered demos from the composer-lyricist's private collection. It comes with a 40-page color booklet containing full lyrics, personal photographs, and copies of Sondheim's manuscripts. In the San Francisco Chronicle, Robert Hurwitt wrote, "Stephen Sondheim: boy genius. The second volume in PS Classics' revelatory Sondheim Sings series is in some respects even more intriguing than the first. Where Vol. 1 featured demos from the first decade of his notable shows, Vol. 2 reaches back to his formative years, songs composed for high school and college shows in the '40s as well as failed efforts to break into Broadway in the '50s and a few written just for friends' special occasions. What there is, in profusion, is astonishing evidence of genius in development. From the beginning, the wit is sophisticated and funny, and Sondheim's performances are remarkably assured."
