“This selection by Carole Farley of my songs covers forty years of my writing for both concert and theatre. Not everyone can shift stylistic gears as easily and brilliantly as she from straight-out Broadway parody (Casino Paradise’s Night, Make My Day) to difficult art music (the I Will Breathe a Mountain cycle). Who but a courageous soprano would start a recording with a scream? Carole has begun her programme with You Cannot Have Me Now, from the opera for actors Greatshot, written for the Yale Repertory Theater in 1969; the character is a German war-bride in a married-officers’ neighbourhood on a military base, telling us of her and her husband’s wild goings-on among the brass and NCOs.” – William Bolcom
