Laurie Altman’s Post

🙏 The kind words incredibly move me from Paul Sommers of the Newark Star-Ledger! "After witnessing the moving performances of Altman vocal works, both pieces were of operatic quality. Here, Altman showed his ability to compose an operatic scene, for it can hardly have been easy for him to have set these texts to music. His music elevates their meaning. Anguish and anger and Plath`s diary entries acquire a life, a vividness beyond the confines of the author's beloved words on the page." Altman`s music tends to be angular and dissonant. When he uses non-tonal language, it does not have the sound or texture of classic dodecaphonic serialism. He is quite comfortable crossing from the non-tonal to the very tonal when it suits his purposes. #Grateful #CustomerFeedback #Review #NewarkStarLedger
