Reviews are trickling in for Sumptuous Planet

A few new reviews of the recording of my work Sumptuous Planet have recently trickled in:

“In addition to being thought-provoking, this recording is also musically superb, with The Crossing and conductor Donald Nally providing a flawless interpretation of Shapiro’s harrowing, transparent score”—Matthew Whitfield, theWholeNote.com.

“Shapiro, in a stroke of daring subversion, brings the mystery and reverence of the mass tradition to the absolute rationality of the texts, elevating the piece beyond mere ideas into something—paradoxically—spiritual.”—Robert A. Moore, American Record Guide

“This big piece is an impressive achievement - a bold approach, reflected in the music, which is varied, engaging and impeccably sung by the American chamber choir The Crossing”—Bernard Hughes, TheArtsDesk.com
