Maude Maggart Answers Sondheim's Questions About Life - Myra Chanin - Huffington Post
Maude Maggart has been hailed by both of New York's top music mavens. The New York Times Stephen Holden called her "singular and arresting, with a rapid vibrato that evokes butterfly wings beating against the sky," and the Wall Street Journal's Will Friedwald wrote that "singing the subtext as much as the notes or the lyrics, she creates a kind of Jukebox musical of the gods."
Maude's variety is amazing. She runs the gamut from classic to cutting edge. The highlight of the show was her exquisite rendition of Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley's equally exquisite Pure Imagination, which swathes your ears with musical gossamer. Tunes by Kalmar and Ruby, The Gershwins, Jobin, Cole Porter, Berlin, Rogers and Hart and Harburg and Arlen alternate with lesser known tunes by Alec Wilder and Rado and Ragni.
