CD Reviews

Below average voice and interpretation; admirable program
09/28/1999
(2 out of 5 stars)

"Pilgrim's voice is without expression or feeling, and unfortunately, is with excessive and unstable vibrato. The selections are wide-ranged and interesting. The program has great potential as a comprehensive resource, but it's vocal performance lacks talent, technique, and interpretation."
