Julia Schechtman Pabst : Eye On The Sparrow

Such pretty scriptural songs of joy and comfort, and a voice as clear and true as a silver bell. 'The Lord's Prayer' is done with deep prayerfulness. 'Sparrow' is sung simply and trustingly. '[This version of] 'His Eye is on the Sparrow' -- tears stream down my face.' (- review) Gounod's lovely 'The King of Love' and 'Ye Shall Not Sorrow Anymore' are also as sweet as can be, while Bach's 'My Heart Ever Faithful' draws from a deep well of joy.Julia Schechtman has sung leading roles in European opera houses. On Boesendorfer is Saul Schechtman, conductor of the tv series Omnibus, chamber orchestra Orchestra Piccola, guest conductor with theater and radio orchestras in Germany, Holland, Scandanavia, and the Philadelphia Orchestra.Miss Schechtman's CD, 'Brilliant!,' consisting of delightful coloratura arias, is available digitally on CDBaby and iTunes. REVIEWS:'Her brilliant and gorgeous voice flows from her heart. It is a unique program with great variety.' - Takae Ohnishi, Harpsichordist; Lecturer, UCSD'Unusual for so vibrant a voice to have such a calming effect. The voice is a rare instrument, beautiful and very individual, you'd recognize it anywhere, and the artist is both expressive and self-effacing. The piano accompaniment is sensitive, stylistically flawless. And the musicians are very 'present,' you feel like you're in the front row...Highly recommended.' - From review on amazon.com'A voice that sounds like the sun coming out; a lovely, 'sunshiney' sound.' - Carolyn R.EXCERPTS FROM GERMAN OPERA REVIEWS:'A stroke of luck: Julia Schechtman. Great expressivity, vocal presence in all registers, and modulative ability...''Her trustworthy musicianship, her masterly execution directed towards lyrical beauty of sound, evoked bravos and ovations.' a Neue Osnabruecker Zeitung' Remarkable how Julia Schechtman masters the [nuances] with surety of intonation as well as vocal loveliness.' a Ruhr-Nachrichten'aE sparkled with a glorious voice that even in the top notes radiated clarity and surety.' a Westfaelische Rundschau
