Photo Coverage: Patti LuPone Celebrates Release of New CD
By: Kerry Long Apr. 26, 2006
Patti LuPone, who currently stars in the Broadway smash hit Sweeney Todd, developed The Lady With The Torch through a series of concert appearances. Venues include Feinstein's at the Regency (New York), Cinegrill (Los Angeles) and the Plush Room (San Francisco), and eventually, a sold-out solo show at Carnegie Hall last March, marking her third sold-out concert there to date. For the studio recording, Chris Fenwick conducted a ten-piece band performing Jonathan Tunick's orchestrations of an eclectic array of torch songs by such composers and lyricists as Jule Styne, Sammy Cahn, Harold Arlen, Billy Barnes, Johnny Mercer, Jessie Mae Robinson, Cole Porter and George & Ira Gershwin.
Patti LuPone's previous recordings include Matters Of The Heart, Patti LuPone Live and Heat Wave, a collection of Irving Berlin songs performed with John Mauceri and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. Her most recent original cast recording is of the hit revival Sweeney Todd.
