Comprising the soundtrack album from the film Serenade, and the LP A Cavalcade of ShowTunes, the CD also includes a previously unreleased version of the song Serenade by Nicholas Brodszky and Sammy Cahn.
An entirely different song from the one featured in the actual film of Serenade, this recording is noteworthy for its difficult tessitura, including a number of high B naturals.
The CD concludes with the 1956 album A Cavalcade of ShowTunes, arranged and conducted by Henri Rene.
ShowTunes are the songs that have been featured in musical plays and films.
He toured with the show during the early '80s, and Barnum's popularity was the decisive factor in Andrew Lloyd Webber's casting of him opposite Sarah Brightman in The Phantom of the Opera in 1986.
The show was a hit, and Patinkin won an Emmy Award, but he left the program early in its second season largely due to family considerations; now married and having started a family, he was based in New York, while the show filmed in Los Angeles.
