CD Reviews
Pretty good
J. Thompson | NJ | 03/10/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Denise's playing is fantastic, but it still has a little more to be desired. She does play very well and is clear and accurate, but it does sometimes seem like it lacks intensity and sometimes even emotion. However, the folklore theme makes it is a good CD to have in your CD collection."
