Reviews
“For any listener who enjoys robust choral writing, good tunes, lively rhythms, and ethereal beauty, this disc [Young America] can be enthusiastically recommended…This is an extraordinarily engaging disc, one to which I shall return many times.”
Henry Fogel
Fanfare, 2005
“The music has a kind of charming, late-Romantic appeal, spiced with some more modern harmonic touches…. [Annabel Lee], with its sinister rocking motion, effectively captures the spectral quality of Poe’s over-ripe lament. Getty’s arrangement of Three Welsh Songs, standard tunes featuring new English words by the composer, will also bring a smile to many listeners…”
