Talk:Liaisons: Re-Imagining Sondheim from the Piano

Release date?

I'm seeing conflicting info for whether the release date was Sept 25 or Oct 2...

Oct 2: iTunes, Google Play, EMC, Discogs, MusicBrainz

Sept 25: Amazon, ArkivMusic, Barnes and Noble, NYMag, AllMusic

Okay so after some digging, the release date was Sept 25, but October 2 was the international release date. I just wish I had sources other than Facebook for this info so the article could clarify this. Umimmak (talk) 04:28, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

LIAISONS2020

I don't know if it's worth mentioning in this article or not but there are additional commissions for this project and presumably there will be a second album. I'll keep a look out for secondary sources as this new album gets developed.

@Doloreshayes: I think this article could probably do with a brief section on the planned "sequel", but I haven't found any independent, reliable sources about this new album to demonstrate its notability...have you seen any? Umimmak (talk) 04:50, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

So the "sequel" pieces were all performed at Merkin Concert Hall in November 2021 https://www.kaufmanmusiccenter.org/mch/event/piano-dialogues-anthony-de-mare-liaisons-3-26/ , and March 2022 https://www.kaufmanmusiccenter.org/mch/event/piano-dialogues-anthony-de-mare-liaisons-3-26/ . The program mixed old and new pieces, the latter are noted as premieres. The November concert was reviewed here: https://newyorkclassicalreview.com/2021/11/pianist-de-mare-illuminates-sondheim-with-liaisons/ As for the album it is getting recorded now; there may be some interviews with the pianist that talk about it would those count as independent reliable sources? If so i'll seek them out. Doloreshayes (talk) 02:33, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Interviews don’t count to demonstrate notability unfortunately but they might be wort( holding on to in case they contain useful information. Umimmak (talk) 04:11, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Specific track on end of year "best of" list

Tom Huizenga included Daniel Bernard Roumain's "Another Hundred People" as one of NPR Music's Favorite Songs Of 2015. Anthony de Mare's mentioned as the performer but it's not about the album, per se. I'm not sure if this warrants mention in the Reception section, but just for posterity:

Billboard data for posterity

I've noticed Billboard links have sometimes disappeared or become harder to access, so just in case this is useful for a future editor I've provided the relevant chart data below.
