The Critics Say: FANFARE "This new release is devoted to (Judith Lang Zaimont's) sacred and secular choral music, mainly from the 1970's and is written in an immediately accessible melodic style. Sunnay Airs and Sober...The five texts are supplied by Shakespeare, Shelley, and Gay/Herrick, with the music graphically picturing the words, and tempos nicely juxtaposed to create a well-balanced cycle of works. The Choral Society of Southern California is obviously a very fine choir, with a good and just balance of male and female voices. Zaimont's scores are rooted in the tonal music of the Romantic era...(these works) will delight those who believe that music should be readily accessible to performers and listeners. The recording quality is good, placing soloists, choir and accompaniment in a natural perspective." | |||

The re-issue of this recording is made possible, in part, by a generous grant from the Aaron Copland Fund for Music Recording Programs. The Critics Say: AMERICAN RECORD GUIDE "The tiny (only eight singers) Americas Vocal Ensemble - formerly known as the Manhattan Vocal Ensemble - is a most excellent professional group devoted to the music of the Americas, from the colonial era to the present ... Their smooth and refined singing leaves nothing to be desired. ... We have yet explored only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Hispanic choral music from the new world, but Escobar's music is a truly happy discovery. The remastered sound is excellent, and we get full texts and translations." GRAMOPHONE "This recording...is a fine testament to the Argentine-born, New York-based composer Nelly Vuksic and her longtime championing of Latin american Composers in the U.S. Here, Vuksic finds a similar well-traveled spirit in Luis Antonio Escobar...From his country's folkloric roots his music springs - particularly in works with text, which his music fits with subtlety and poetic delicacy...As with early European a cappella vocal forms, to which these pieces clearly allude, an artless simplicity is the key...Vuksic's singers clearly have a taste of the soil in their mouths...clearly connected with the material." CLASSICAL MUSIC WEB "...the overall signatureš of the music is that of a sensitive composer. In this the composer is matched by the performers in this attractive and often lovely music...an attractive set of voices and they are ideal for this music." | |||
