- I've just been listening to your new CD -- Cathedral Classics -- it is beautiful! The Barber in particular struck me as a great accomplishment. I've heard it sung before and thought of it as not up to the string orchestra version -- as if the words were just tacked on to allow choirs to sing the piece -- but you really gave this version an integrity and life of its own -- you managed to make it into a choral piece. What a demanding piece to sing -- and how effective it can be.
-- Chicago, IL- The Barber Adagio is just plain arresting. Oh to be 25, have a good music education, and have an opportunity to sing that literature in your ensemble. The expected Warland blend and precision (which is still so true as to continue to be inspirational) is what choral music ought to be.
-- Grand Rapids, MI- I was literally quite stunned by the performance of Gregorio Allegri's Miserere. Realizing that I was not attending to my driving as I should, I found some open space and parked the car. The sun was shining through dissipating clouds and a light spring snow. It was one of those rare moments of complete communion for which we live in an otherwise incomprehensible world. Once again, I am indebted to you for an unexpected gift.
-- Salt Lake City, UT- I have a Master of Sacred Music Degree by Union Theological Seminary, was in church music a number of years, have sung in a professional choir, but I have never been more 'blown away' and smitten. Everything about it (Cathedral Classics) was superb.
