The player below should run three clips in a row — excerpts from an interview that Frank Rich did in San Francisco in March of '08 with Stephen Sondheim. The video's the wrong size for the frame but the audio's pretty good and that's what matters. Rich did a number of these conversations with Sondheim (I saw one at UCLA) and tapes abound. They're quite interesting but I find myself wishing that the inquisitor had been someone who'd be a bit more challenging and not so willing to prompt Sondheim for anecdotes that the composer wished to tell. Still, the ones he wished to tell are pretty interesting…
