Reviews
“The high spirited text by Hart Crane met its match in the music of Mr. Karchin, in which oblique references to the famous opera pointed up the vivacious quality of the music.”
“Its Hart Crane poem is an evocative portrayal of dance, with a sinister, portentous underpinning: the juxtaposition is reflected in Karchin´s sensitive setting.”
”The most charming song, Carmen de Boheme, is an affectionate homage to Bizet´s Habenera…”
