Paul and Alex Gemignani, a father-and-son conductor-singer duo, kibbitz about their long-running engagement with the composer in “the house that ‘Gypsy’ built.”
Cyrille Aimée sets a standard in vocal quality on Let’s Get Lost that is unlikely to be equalled for some time to come.
It was a wise and courageous choice, exemplified by this strong collection of interpretations of the Stephen Sondheim songbook.

When it comes to pre-show rituals, artists are a particularly superstitious and meticulous sort. They’re a lot like star athletes. If a particular routine works to evoke the best performance, they’ll adopt it into their repertoire without fail.
‘I think “Let’s Get Lost” reflects this maturity. It’s got a little bit more of an adult vibe, and I think that’s why it feels so mellow. It’s less excited, it’s less raw.’
After dazzling fans with It’s A Good Day, vocalist Cyrille Aimée is set to showcase a different side of her artistry with the forthcoming release of her sophomore effort, Let’s Get Lost on Mack Avenue Records.
Cyrille Aimée, whose initial experience with singing Sondheim came only six years ago during a series of City Center performances in New York, has taken a fresh look at this music, setting it in new and exciting arrangements.
