Judi Dench singing 'Send In The Clowns' help required please

[Stanfordian]

A while ago I remember playing a recording of Judi Dench singing 'Send In The Clowns'. I would like to play it at a presentation about musicals that I am giving next month but I cannot remember anything about the recording; maybe it was on a compiliation CD or similar. I don't want the whole musical just that one song 'Send In The Clowns' sung by Judi Dench. I will be very grateful if anyone can point me in the right direction. Many thanks.

I don't mind if I do.

Well, I was going to recommend the actual cast recording. JD sang it in a National Theatre production ('65/'66), as the previously recommended version is from a Cameron Mackintosh tribute concert, but it seems it has become a bit of a collectors item ... £134.99?????????? HOW MUCH!!!!!!!!!!

Even in a theatrical context, it's a rather too rough rendition. It's a bitter sweet song but here JD goes a bit too far.

I wonder how she was as Sally Bowles. I must check that out. Much younger then of course. Was watching her last night as Q. Victoria in 'Mrs.Brown'. Wonderful performance.

She's very good, Shwb - I have the cast recording on cassette (a pre-Last of the Summer Wine Peter Sallis is also in the cast): she has a very sweet voice with an attractive "croaky" fragility to it.

Sondheim also likes her performances of Clowns, it should be noted.

I saw an excerpt from the stage production which was different from that 'Hey Mr.Producer' take which I'd found on Spotify.

Thanks for the YT link, FH! No, I know that she was very well received in 'Cabaret'. I once has the cast album for the London production in my hand. This was in the days of the late lamented 'Dress Circle' when they initially had a space in the, then, relatively new 'Dress Circle' in Cutler's Piazza as I'm inclined to remember it.

Hiya Stillhomewardbound,

I love this rendition by Judy Dench. I'm doing to play it at a presentation. I also love Judy Dench and Billy Connolly in 'Mrs.Brown'; its great film.

Hiya Pabmusic,

Many thanks for the infornmation.

[Stillhomewardbound]

Yes, it was nice to see 'Mrs Brown' again over Christmas. It makes for an excellent two-hander between Dench and Connolly, though there's excellent support from Geoffrey Palmer and Richard Pasco also.

I saw Billy Connolly in the new film by Dustin Hoffman, 'Quartet', based on the play by Ronald Harwood and he is terribly good as a post-stroke old roue.

Judi D also excellent as M in the latest Bond, 'Skyfall' - which is high on wit and (relatively) low in bang-bang, crash-crash. Definetely worth a seat in the 1/6s, IMV.

1/6s ? Surely it was 1/9s in the stalls, 2/3s in the circle.

This is where we came in.
