"So Much Beauty," Janeanne Houston (www.elmgroveproductions.com)

The radiant-voiced and very communicative soprano Janeanne Houston has assembled a remarkable collection of contemporary songs - many of them premieres - and recorded them here with pianist Robert Jorgensen. This repertoire offers huge variety, some breathtaking discoveries (including new pieces by Carol Sams, Dan Locklair and Lori Laitman), and - yes - so much beauty.
