Terrain of the Heart: Song Cycles of Mark Abel

On these three unique art song cycles, composer Mark Abel combines hard-hitting lyrics and a unique musical fusion of rock and classical. Outstanding performances from world-class West Coast artists - Jamie Chamberlin, soprano; Ariel Pisturino, soprano; Victoria Kirsch, piano. 'Abel is as good a poet as he is a musician.... I think that anyone who is interested in modern vocal music will want to own this disc.' - Fanfare, on 'The Dream Gallery'.
