CD - Every Tiny Thing
This recording by soprano Michelle Murray Fiertek and pianist Michael Korman on Albany Records features Dan Shore’s “The Cowboy’s Life,” for soprano, piano, and violin, as well as art songs by Ricky Ian Gordon, Barbara Harbach, Rami Levin, and many more.
"…This album is a wonder-ful presentation of these pieces of America that meet at the intersection of art song and folk song and popular song, and soprano Michelle Murray Fiertek and pianist Michael Korman deserve a hefty round of applause for this effort." (American Record Guide)
"This engaging collection of mostly American art songs (Patrick Doyle is Scottish and Joni Mitchell Canadian) holds considerable appealing. The idiom is tonal, and there is a genuine melodic gift underpinning many of the songs. Michelle Murray Fiertek has a bright, well-produced lyric soprano, and she varies her inflection to match the texts. Her diction is clear enough that you may not even need the printed texts, but it is good that Albany provided them. This is just the kind of repertoire I like to encourage, and one can only applaud the intelligence and good taste behind the selections.…" (Fanfare)
