Sondheim coverage

From the Albany Times-Union:

Perhaps most entertaining were a series of questions Rich posed about the craft of songwriting. At one point Sondheim ruthlessly took apart the work of Lorenz Hart, proclaiming the frequent Richard Rodgers collaborator to be "genuinely lazy lyrics writer." But Sondheim was also willing to turn the glass on himself and his mentor, Oscar Hammerstein - pointing out weaknesses in their material as well.

What might have been a dry conversation about craft or simply a troll through the highlights of an impressive life was instead a thrilling event full of unexpected revelations and useful information.
