Reviews:
"Best of all are the cycle of five poems by the Spanish writer Antonio Machado (1875-1939), as translated by Robet Bly. Matheson doesn't merely 'set' the texts - he seems to take ownership of them like a singer-songwriter." Andrew Quinte, The Absolute Sound
"Strickling impressed with her powerful and expressive voice across a large range, her variety of timbre and character, and playful demeanor embodying lighter moments of this song-cycle." Classical Scene
