New York Notes Exclusive: The Music of Georgia Shreve Highly Recommended by Whom You Know
It's not who you know, it's Whom You Know, and admittedly we met Georgia at the best bookparty ever! Which was the best because it was for "I Didn't Bargain For This" by Mover and Shaker Mitzi Perdue! And presumably you listened to us and went to http://mitziperdue.com/ bought it, read it, and saw Georgia Shreve mentioned. Now it's time for the spotlight on Georgia! If you meet Georgia Shreve in person you will know immediately she is one of the most stunningly intelligent people you'll ever meet and that makes so much sense as she is a composer.
The Music of Georgia Shreve cd echos the high level of thought that Georgia exudes in cocktail party in person. But since you can't be at a cocktail party with Georgia every day, you absolutely need this cd which showcases her total gifted qualities. You know we almost never write about music, so this is THAT GREAT. It's classical and it will become a classic. Recorded in New York City in 2010, the work contains Three Songs: If on a Winter's Night, A Child in the Morning of Time and Margaret as well as Oratorio: Portraits of the 20th Century: Environment, War and Depression. All music is by Georgia Shreve of course-so pick up this cd, and bask in her brilliance.
