Reviews
“These performances present a strong case for the music, which should be popular with choruses searching for Americana to program.”
Bob Benson
Classical CD Review, 2005
“The choral and orchestral performances throughout this CD [Young America] are elegant, the music in its style and expressiveness, human, warm and sympathetic, giving song and voice to these poems.”
Robert Commanday
San Francisco Classical Voice, 2005
“The music has a kind of charming, late-Romantic appeal, spiced with some more modern harmonic touches.”
Joseph Stevenson
Classics Today, 2005
