The original cast recordings of “Company,” “Sweeney Todd,” “Into the Woods” and “Assassins” have been remixed and remastered. The new editions mark the release of the final legacy project on which Sondheim consulted before he died.

Sony’s 360 Reality Audio format wraps listeners in a field of sound using 360-degree spatial sound technology. With this tech, individual sounds from the recordings — including vocals, piano, guitar and live audience sounds — can be put into a spherical sound field. Dolby Atmos adds clarity, space and depth to music, allowing people to become enveloped in the listening experience using surround-sound technology. The new Dolby Atmos editions are available via Apple Music, as well as Amazon Music and TIDAL.

The editions include fresh details that emerged when the recordings were re-explored, including the few seconds at the start of “Tick Tock” on the “Company” recording (which were cut from the original LP release and previous reissues).
