Review Highlights

"Romanza introduces Abha Dearing's soprano for the first time. It's a lovely voice -- sweet-tempered, buoyant, idiomatic in articulation and phrasing. Second, the material is steeped in the nationalist classical traditions of Spain, Brazil, Chile and Argentina with music by such masters as Manuel de Falla, Enrique Grandados, Joaquin Rodrigo and Heitor Villa-Lobos."
Detroit Free Press - Mark Stryker

"...Steven's vigorous readings of pieces by the Brazilian composer, Jorge Morel, are among the album's instrumental delights. Seven Spanish Songs, by Manuel de Falla, are richly textured miniatures sung as passionate art songs by Abha."
The Windsor Star - Ted Shaw
