Editorial Reviews (Featuring composers Lou Harrison, Ernesto Cordero, Heitor Villa-Lobos, Dusan Bogdanovic, Frantz Casseus and Morten Lauridsen.)
David Stabler, The Oregonian, May 9, 1998
"Where subtle guitar meets stellar soprano" "Kritzer's subtle guitar playing is the perfect complement to Chvatal's light soprano."
TJ, InTune No. 56/1998
Every once in a while a recording comes along that grabs you and makes you drop everything and simply listen.
