what the critics are saying
 


“The music swirls with regret, romance and a sense of lost time.”
–The New York Times


“Exquisite. Gordon's contemplative score often recalls salon music of the 1920s. Piano notes fall like teardrops. Throbbing cello and violin lines suggest quickening of breath. A sensual 'Sometimes' and a yearning 'But What I Say' are highlights among the 16 songs and extensive underscoring given dark, gleaming orchestrations by Bruce Coughlin.”
–Newark Star-Ledger


“The melodies stick with you long afterwards...two unmistakable gems in 'Talk About the Weather' and Ms. O'Hara's wistful finale, 'If It Is True.'”
–New York Sun
