Dennis Sampson, Visiting Poet, Wake Forest University
These powerful and painfully beautiful monologues… are so simply and so eloquently articulated they bring you to your knees.

Sam Pfeifle, The Portland Phoenix, May 27, 2005
I can listen to the stories over and over again and keep finding new things.

      5 out of 5 stars Really Great.......2004-09-03

      One thing that has yet to be mentioned is that these are all art songs written by women composers. I am a big fan of both of the performers. I really like the first three pieces and Still by Gwenyth Walker. If you are a begginer or an old timer when it comes to art songs, this is a must!
      The title is accually Ah love but a day, not American Art Songs

      5 out of 5 stars music fan in southern Virginia.......2003-08-15

      I LOVE this CD and have played it constantly since purchasing it. My favorite selection is Guide My Feet with Louise Toppin's amazing high voice. The purity and sheer height of her instrument are incredible. I have also really enjoyed hearing the rich baritone of Jay Pierson and excellent accompanying of John O'Brien. The repertoire is refreshing and musically presented by all three artists. I HIGHLY recommend this CD to all.

      5 out of 5 stars North Hollywood Fan- Jay Pierson is Wonderful.......2002-09-14

      This CD is lovely. Jay Pierson has a wonderful voice and the interpretation of his selections is stellar. I really love "Into the Night" and can listen to it over and over. I also think it is great that the female composers get their long overdue DO! I hope they somehow know that their music is not only being heard, but being performed beautifully. Toppin does a great job also, but I really love the baritone sound. Truly a beautiful CD!!! Thank you to both performers - but especially Pierson!

      5 out of 5 stars great CD, but ms toppin was NOT on TOP.......2002-04-08

      the fabulous baritone CLEARLY shared the spotlight with toppin. the repetoire throughout was quite distinguished and beautiful between both singers, but i could have done without toppin being listed as the FEATURED singer on this CD. this CD has one of the most elegant, musical, baritones that ive ever heard on it. the best song sung by toppin was "take me to the water" - it was quite emotional, per toppin's pure tone and child-like vocal character - perfect match. "into the night" is glorious, and "ah love but a day" is gorgeous. a beautiful beautiful CD .

      4 out of 5 stars Terrific!.......2000-06-06

      Louise Toppin sings some beautiful, though neglected repertoire. She is ably assisted by Jay Pierson and John O'Brien, but this is clearly her project. Definitely recommended!
