CD Reviews

Good combination of music and lyrics
JLF | Manila, Philippines | 07/02/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This musical is based on Gertrude Stein's Loving, Repeating (a long gay book). I heard previously the opera Four Saints (by Virgil Thomson) with libretto by Gertrude Stein. I am also familiar with some of the works of Flaherty. I must say that this one is the best so far. Once on This Island is very accessible, but this one entices you to listen to the lyrics. An individual listening would really not do justice to the work. It requires one complete listening. the songs seem to be weaved together (much better than Passion i must say, and this is a great compliment). The songs grow on the ears. Very subtle. Angsty musicals and writers will learn a lot from this one. Not your typical broadway music mind you."
Loving Repeating Wows!
