Editorial Reviews
Album Description
THE TIMELESS MADONA features a sampling of the many expressions of supplication and adoration written by Franz Liszt in honor of the Blessed Mother, Mary. Included are little known Ave Marias expressed through the mediums of solo piano and various combinations of vocal ensembles: solo, a capella and mixed choir with organ and harp. The result is a unique setting for prayerful mediation offering soothing peace for a troubled soul.

5 out of 5 stars British Musical Society Newsletter, Paul Shoemaker - 03/2003.......2003-05-25

"...Liszt"s AVE MARIAS are good enough music to merit the attention of the ghosts of Wesley and Calvin as well of atheists and agnostics who love music...this disc is a musical journey in the company of one who has seen many beautiful things and wants to share them with us as clearly as possible. That applies not only to Liszt but also to the guiding spirit behind this production, Ms. Mary Kay Kapustka who plays the piano arrangements which make up much of this CD. Her playing lacks the fleetness, polish, and grace of Horowitz, but no-one plays this music with more sincerity or commitment. The chorus sings effectively and clearly without excesses of any kind. This is a statement of music by a religious man, not a sectarian service, and as such its appeal is universal....."

Solo Pianist Mary Kay Kapustka performs with the kind of piano technique that is so necessary to playing Liszt's music so convincingly. The Mixed Choir produces pure vocal sounds, with their conductor, Richard Robertson, controlling dynamics and phrasing in a magnificent tribute to Lizst, the Abbe. The organ sounds so soulful under the deft manipilations of soloist, Francis Slechta. Perfection is the only word to describe the organ episodes. The CD also features baritone John Reschl, harpist Don Hilsberg, and conductor Robertson at the organ, A fascinating CD amounting to another glowing tribute to the "unknown" Liszt.
