“Conducted by Ted Sperling, the concert sustained an ideal, acoustically perfect mixture of brassy confidence and vaulting romanticism.”
Stephen Holden, The New York Times
Join us for a night that will sweep you off your feet. True love, crushes, bitter breakups and eternal amour are all fair game in this warm, witty night!
A love story told through some of Broadway’s most romantic songs, performed by the brightest talents from the Great White Way, this evening features music from West Side Story, Follies, Carousel, Company, and many more.
“Ted Sperling conducted with affectionate, sympathetic verve and kept everyone dancing, prancing, ogling and miming with exceptional precision and style.”
Martin Bernheimer, Financial Times
“...the New York Philharmonic program at Avery Fisher Hall on Monday evening, was to encounter the ultimate embodiment of the romantic myth that sustained the Broadway musical during its golden years...Throughout, Mr. Sperling confidently steered the singers and the orchestra in a direction that avoided anything smacking of formal classical crossover (despite Mr. Gunn’s operatic roots) while giving music by Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, Weill and Leonard Bernstein its full romantic due.”
Stephen Holden, The New York Times
