"On these three unique art song cycles, composer Mark Abel combines hard‐hitting lyrics and a unique musical fusion of rock and classical. Outstanding performances from world‐class West Coast artists – Jamie Chamberlin, soprano; Ariel Pisturino, soprano; Victoria Kirsch, piano. ""Abel is as good a poet as he is a musician. … I think that anyone who is interested in modern vocal music will want to own this disc."" - Fanfare, on “The Dream Gallery”."
