No-one deals with subtlety of emotion like Sondheim. He goes from the raw powerful emotion of a declaration of love to the gentle caress, all in his music. He is an absolute genius. You hear in the strings the contrast of excitement and trepidation in the scene, with the resolve at the very end, in scene and music. Sondheim cannot be matched. Evans' voice is also stunning
@hanshandslover sending those fists and random objects. To me this is just like two hired voices (certainly technically correct in their execution.) The singing by Peters/Patinkin has so much more emotion. but then again, I'm an American
