Jonathan Tunick, Stephen Sondheim’s longtime collaborator, unveiled a grand orchestration of “A Little Night Music” that deserves more than a concert.
For Jonathan Tunick, an early love of “Tubby the Tuba” led to a career as an orchestrator. He talks about his Sondheim partnership, and creating a sound that “can hint at unspoken secrets.”
Sondheim was a titan of musical theater. But four recent shows onstage in New York argue for his place among classical music luminaries, too.
