First Complete Recording: One Touch of Venus, 2CD

The long-awaited, complete recording of Kurt Weill and Ogden Nash's celebrated cult musical One Touch of Venus is now available.

The sparkling sounds of Weill's majestic and compelling score for the show are vocally rendered on the album by stars Melissa Errico, Brent Barrett, Judy Kaye, Victoria Clark, Ron Raines and more, yet this orchestral-only amuse bouche of the grand feast awaiting us in the entire forthcoming two-disc set is truly delectable, to say the very least.

Along with the sumptuous track, a posting alerts readers to the upcoming Kurt Weill On Braodway celebration, directed by Richard Jay-Alexander and featuring vocalists Errico, Barrett and Raines from the One Touch of Venus recording as well as Judy Blazer and more. "Broadway World".
