This review is from: Huntsman, What Quarry? (Audio CD)

Though the entire CD was wonderful, I found the piece "Huntsman, What Quarry?" to be magnificent. As a classical singer I am always looking for interesting and beautiful pieces. Simon Sargon is a truly magical composer. I performed these on my senior recital in undergrad and they were very well received. Standout pieces! I think what distinguishes a good composer from a great composer is whether or not the music helped the audience find a deeper meaning in the poetry than they might have gotten from a straight reading. That is certainly the case here. In the future, I will be looking for all the Simon Sargon music I can find. I highly recommend his work.
