Alex Ross (The Rest is Noise) had this to say about the Two Sides Sounding (featuring former Celebrity Series employee, Eleanor Taylor, you'll remember) recital at Manhattan's St. Peter's Church on Tuesday:
"Corey Dargel's Condoleezza Rice song cycle — setting three passages from the Secretary of State's speeches — sounded prankish in concept, but was surprisingly moving in execution; the prosody was immaculate, the accompaniment achieved a certain Handelian grandeur. I recommend these songs to sopranos of daring." Alex's post.
