The Tony Award-winning composer / lyricist – who's given us the smash hit musicals Nine, Titanic, Phantom and Grand Hotel – is celebrated in song by the best stars of Broadway and cabaret.

With all newly-recorded selections from his stage shows, plus five songs Maury has picked to premiere here, THE MAURY YESTON SONGBOOK features a cast that Playbill has called "a Who's Who of Broadway vocal talent." Shortly after its release, The New York Times noted that our CD "had critics applauding," and indeed it did. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution gave it an "A" and called it "the kind of CD you'll play again and again and again, each time hearing something new," and The Detroit News concurred: "This new compilation shows Yeston at his best...it's a collection worth repeat listening." And the Houston Chronicle found it "a perfect example of the unique artistry that makes Yeston a major talent indispensable to contemporary musical theatre. Grade: A."
