CD Reviews

Outstanding

Christopher Radice | Lindenhurst, NY | 08/31/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have had this CD for quite sometime, and must say it is very good. Having studied with Dora for over two years-I have discovered my love of contemporary art song. I have found myself performing more and more contemporary music, and must say Dora is truly a divine interpreter of contemporary music."

Not an Expert

D. E. Macias | San Antonio, TX | 08/08/2007

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I'm not an expert nor a musicologist. But there's something about Virgil Thomson and his music that moves me and inspires me. It is Americana, but not a flag-waving type. It's middle-America, and yet it's universal. The more I listen to his music, the more I come to appreciate it. I recommend it for any American classical collection."
