Bernadatte Peters recently took over the role of Desirée Armfeldt in Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night Music from actress Catherine Zeta Jones, who is featured on Nonesuch's recording of the work. Peters' rendition of the famous "Send in the Clowns," perhaps the composer's best-known song, was recently praised by New York Times writer Charles Isherwood, leading the Los Angeles Times arts blog, Culture Monster, to take a look, via YouTube, at other famous versions of this popular song. Featured interpretations include those by Glynis Johns, who played Desiree in the original Broadway production, actress Glenn Close, Barbara Streisand, Dame Judi Dench, and Elizabeth Taylor from the 1977 film version of the show.
