“This is a fine disc. I appreciated the quality of the performances very much. The documentation is comprehensive and good. The sound quality is very pleasing also. … the sound is clear and pleasing and shows both the performers and the music to good advantage. All concerned, performers and technicians, have done Stephen Paulus proud with this release and I’m sure he was delighted by what he heard at the sessions. It’s sad that the creative voice of a composer who wrote so effectively and understandingly for the human voice has now been silenced.” —John Quinn, MusicWeb International
