“The Frostiana suite was a delight. The choir followed Joel's interpretations of Thompson's setting extremely well, particularly the several unwritten changes of tempo or tenuto. The piano accompaniment was stunning, finely executed, and well-balanced volume-wise.

I enjoyed hearing the text painting in A Winter Day. While pointing as much to the composer's craft as to the artistry of the players, the cello piano dialog throughout wonderfully compliments the vocalists.

The Boy Who Laughed... was extremely fun. The many Ogden Nash poems composers have set to music will always draw laughter. Eric Whitacre has a particular gift certainly, but staging and costuming the treble voices playing the part of Jabez in lieu of actual children with some acting thrown in brought the little boy's nasty arrogance and ultimate regret to life. Kudos on pulling off this obviously difficult work.

While one could toss off the inclusion of "carol standards" in the third act of a December concert as merely pro forma, I found the rendition of these a capella arrangements to be interesting, refreshing, and anything but staid. Kantorei is both engaged and engaging in their presentation and got me ready for the season.”
