The original cast recording of the David Bowie penned musical Lazarus, starring Michael C. Hall, will be released in November.
The album features the original cast recordings as well as 3 brand new Bowie tunes done by The Thin White Duke himself just before his passing. It is the final songs he has ever recorded.
According to a press release, "The Lazarus cast album was produced by the show’s musical
director Henry Hey, who had previously worked with Bowie on “The Next
Day” and features vocals from Hall, Caruso, Cristin Miloti, Michael
Esper and other cast members backed by the seven-piece house band Hey
assembled for the New York run. The album was recorded January 11, 2016.
Upon arriving at the studio, the musicians and cast were shocked
and saddened to learn that Bowie had passed away the evening before.
Their emotional performances that day are captured on this recording.
The distinctive artwork for the Lazarus cast recording has been designed by Jonathan Barnbrook who also worked with Bowie on the ★, The Next Day, Heathen and Nothing Has Changed albums.
Written by Bowie and Enda Walsh, directed by Ivo Van Hove and produced by Robert Fox, Lazarus opened December 7, 2015 at the New York Theatre Workshop to great critical acclaim."
