Press Reviews
"the winning song (Millennium Fanfare) is an upbeat yet unsentimental paean... with it's soaring introductory chords and fanfare mode, the pieceinevitably recalls Aarron Copland." Roberta Hershenson, The New York Times"Monumental, with an air of expectancy and drama about it... this music stands alone, it's not the generic minimal rhythms of the evening news." Paul Lustig Dunkel, conductor American Composer's Orchestra On 'Though Love Be a Day' & 'Simple Songs': "All of the songs are very good; several are outstanding. The great work in this collection is Antonio CarlosDeFeo's Sonnet 23 -- poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. I spent the betterportion of one recent morning listening to it repeatedly and weeping like a baby through much of it. Of course, Browning's text is magical, and DeFeo's exquisite lyrical gift and a wonderful harmonic and rhythmic sense heighten the poem magnificently. This beautiful song rates among the best ones I've heard in years... The performances are heartfelt and the sound quality is excellent. I rarely recommend song recordings to all, but I love this disc and believe that every music lover will want to own it. " Bill F. Faucett, AmericanRecord Guide July/August 2000 Saxophonist Jimmy Hill on the Millennium Fanfare: "futuristic in a way, but not with things that can't be imagined... containing exciting dynamics that suggest progress and momentum" On Princess Turandot: "Antonio Carlos DeFeo pulls it all together with his original music for the production. Indeed, DeFeo's creation provides thecrowning glory to this captivating work" - Carol Perkins of The BerkshireSummer |
