Reviews
“In its second release of 2009, the superb Cleveland chamber ensemble Panoramicos takes up haunting music by Michael Cohen, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Margi Griebling-Haigh, Paul Hindemith and Ennio Morricone. Cohen’s “From the Wall” and “I Remember” are touching evocations of Holocaust texts, sung with endearing purity by soprano Sandra Simon, and Griebling-Haigh’s “Night Swimming” is a score of brooding beauty. Lynne Ramsey and pianist Randall Fusco are eloquent protagonists in Hindemith’s Trauermusik. Grade: A.”
— Donald Rosenburg, Cleveland Plain Dealer
