Ever since Vivaldi-and undoubtedly before-composers have been inspired by the shifting seasons. Here cabaret artist Craig Pomranz, acclaimed for his four-octave range and storytelling prowess, takes us on a journey through the calendar with a sterling collection of classics and near-classics gathered from the Great American Songbook, musical theatre and the Grand International Jukebox.
They're songs designed to paint a compelling portrait of the changing landscape, and Pomranz finds in them new emotional depths, resonant humor and nuanced meaning, as he proves beyond a doubt his thesis that love is "more than a seasonal thing." It's a performance further enhanced by the beautifully responsive arrangements of musical director Don Rebic and the playing of a coterie of extraordinary studio musicians.
So, get ready for a journey through time, certain to stir up memories, tug at heartstrings and give you a heightened appreciation of the ever-changing, ever-surprising seasons of love. |
