Description
Poetry. Cole Swensen, in this elegant suite, seems to slide a blade through the operatic repertory, not exactly a knife, more like a corkscrew, spiraling from one unpredictable scene to another. Her pitch is perfect, her tempo uncanny -- Keith Waldrop. Cole Swensen's PARK and NOON are also available from SPD.
